Question

On which axis do the following points lie?

(i) P (5,0) (ii) Q(0 -2) (iii) R(-4,0) (iv) S (0,5)

Answer 1

i) P (5,0)
The y-coordinate is zero for this point, Hence it lies on x axis

ii) Q (0,-2)
The x-coordinate is zero for this point. Hence it lies on y axis

iii) R (-4,0)
The y-coordinate is zero for this point, Hence it lies on x axis

iv) S (0,5)
The x-coordinate is zero for this point. Hence it lies on y axis
