Question

The coordinates of a point, lies on $x$-axis and is at a distance of $3$ units to the left of the origin is _____.

• A. $(-3,0)$
• B. $(0,0)$
• C. $(3,0)$
• D. $\left(0.3\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $(-3,0)$

Let the required point be $P$.

Given, the point lies on $x$-axis.

Then, its ordinate is $0$ or $y=0$.

Also, given the point is at a distance of $3$ units to the left of the origin.

So, its abscissa will be $-3$.
Hence, the co-ordinates of the required point are $(-3,0)$.

Therefore, option $A$ is correct.
