Question

State whether the following statement is true/false.

$(8,-7)$ lies below the x-axis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

We know that

$(x,y)$ is right to $y-axis$ and above to $x-axis$.

$(-x,y)$ is left to $y-axis$ and above to $x-axis$.

$(-x,-y)$ is left to $y-axis$ and below to $x-axis$.

$(x,-y)$ is right to $y-axis$ and below to $x-axis$.

So,

$(8,-7)$ is right to $y-axis$ and below to $x-axis$.

Hence, this is the answer.
