Question

Point $\left(-10,0\right)$ lies

• A. on the negative direction of the $x$-axis
• B. on the negative direction of the $y$-axis
• C. in the third quadrant
• D. in the fourth quadrant

Answer 1

The correct option is A

on the negative direction of the $x$-axis

Explanation for the correct option:

The abscissa is the coordinates of the $x$-axis on the cartesian plane. It is the distance measured from the $y$-axis to the $x$-axis.

On a graph, the abscissa and ordinate are used to represent a point's location.

Conclude that the abscissa is $-10$. which is negative.

This implies that the point $\left(-10,0\right)$ lies in the negative direction of the $x$-axis.

Hence, option A is correct.
