Question

The point $(0,6)$ lies on:

• A. x-axis
• B. y-axis
• C. Origin
• D. None

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

y-axis

The given point is $(0,6)$.

Hence, its x-coordinate is $0$ and y-coordinate is $6$.

We know that, x-coordinate of a point is the perpendicular distance of the point from $y-axis$ and y-coordinate is the perpendicular distance from the $x-axis$.

Hence, the given point is at $0$ units distance from $y-axis$ and $6$ units distance from the $x-axis$.

Therefore, the point lies on $y-axis$.
