Question

The distance of any point from the x-axis is called the x-coordinate. State whether the statement is true (T) or false (F).

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Determine the statement that is “The distance of any point from the $x$-axis is called the $x$-coordinate” is true or false.

The distance of a point from the $y-\mathrm{axis}$ is called its $x-\mathrm{coordinate}$, or abscissa, and the distance of the point from the $x-\mathrm{axis}$ is called its $y-\mathrm{coordinate}$, or ordinate.

Hence, the given statement is “False”.
