Question

Point (–7, 0) lies on the _________ direction of _________ axis.

Answer 1

The given point is (–7, 0).

We know that, the co-ordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0).

If x > 0, then the point (x, 0) lies on the positive direction of the x-axis.

If x < 0, then the point (x, 0) lies on the negative direction of the x-axis.

The given point (–7, 0) is of the form (x, 0), where x < 0. Thus, the point (–7, 0) lies on the negative direction of the x-axis.


Point (–7, 0) lies on the __negative__ direction of __x-__ axis.
