Question

The coordinates of a point, which lies on $x$-axis and is at a distance of $7$ units to the right of the origin is ____.

• A. $(-7,0)$
• B. $(0,7)$
• C. $(7,0)$
• D. $(0,-7)$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$(7,0)$

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 $7$ units to the right of origin.

So, its abscissa will be $+7$.
Hence, the co-ordinates of the required point are $(7,0)$.

Therefore, option $C$ is correct.
