Question

The coordinates of a point lies on $y$-axis and is at a distance of $6$ units below $x$-axis is ______.

• A. $(6,0)$
• B. $(-6,-6)$
• C. $(0,-6)$
• D. $(-6,0)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $(0,-6)$

Let the required point be $P$.

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

Then, its abscissa is $0$ or $x=0$.

Also, given the point is at a distance of $6$ units below the $x$-axis,

So, its ordinate will be $-6$.
Hence, the co-ordinates of the required point are $(0,-6)$.

Therefore, option $C$ is correct.
