Question 23
The point which lies on y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis is

A) (0,5)
B) (5,0)
C) (0,-5)
D) (-5,0)

Answer 1

The answer is C.
Given the point lies on y-axis this shows that its x-coordinate is zero.
Also, it is at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of the y-axis.
So, its y-coordinate is negative.
Hence, the required point is (0,-5).
