Question

Find the quadrant or axis on/in which following point lies.

$(0,-5)$

• A. $III$
• B. $IV$
• C. $y-axis$
• D. $x-axis$

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B $IV$
C $y-axis$

We know that

$(x,y)$ is right to $y-axis$ and above to $x-axis$ and lies in $I^{st}$ quadrant.

$(-x,y)$ is left to $y-axis$ and above to $x-axis$ and lies in $I{I}^{nd}$ quadrant.

$(-x,-y)$ is left to $y-axis$ and below to $x-axis$ and lies in $II{I}^{rd}$ quadrant.

$(x,-y)$ is right to $y-axis$ and below to $x-axis$ and lies in $I{V}^{th}$ quadrant.

$y=0$ means that the point lies on $x-axis$.

$x=0$ means that the point lies on $y-axis$.

So,

$(0,-5)$ is the point lies on $y-axis$ and $I{V}^{th}$ quadrant.

Hence, this is the answer.
