Question

The coordinates of a point whose abscissa is $5$ and which lies on the $x$-axis is:

• A. $(5,0)$
• B. $(0,5)$
• C. $(0,0)$
• D. $(5,5)$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$(5,0)$

Let the required point be $P$.

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

$\therefore$ The ordinate of $P$ is $0$.

Also, its abscissa is $5$.

$\therefore$ The co-ordinates of point $P$ are $P(5,0)$ .

Hence, option $A$ is correct.
