The coordinates of any point, which lies on x axis are
The coordinates of a point are (x, y). If the point lies in the 2nd quadrant, then?
Any point on the x - axis is of the form
(a) (x, y)
(b) (0, y)
(c) (x, 0)
(d) (x, x)
Thinking process (i) Firstly, check whether any coordinate of the given point is zero or not. (a) If x-coordinate is zero and y-coordinate is non-zero, then the point lies on the y-axis. (b) If y-coordinate is zero and x-coordinate is non-zero, then the point lies on the x-axis. (c) If x-coordinate and y-coordinate are zero, the point lies on the origin ( or on both the axes.) (ii) If none of the coordinates is zero, then the point lies in any one of the four quadrants. A) On the x-axis B) In the second quadrant C) On the y-axis D) In the fourth quadrant
