Question

The ordinate of a point is its distance from the y-axis. State whether the statement is true (T) or false (F).

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Ordinate and Abscissa:

The distance of a point from the $y$-axis scaled with the $x$-axis is called abscissa or $x$ coordinate of the point. The distance of a point from the $x$-axis scaled with the $y$-axis is called ordinate. The abscissa and ordinate all together are called coordinates.

Therefore, the given statement is False.
