Question

The point which lies on $y$-axis and at a distance of $2$ units in negative direction of $y$-axis is _____

• A. $(0,0)$
• B. $(0,2)$
• C. $(0,-2)$
• D. $(-2,0)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $(0,-2)$

Let the required point be $P$.

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

Then, its abscissa is $0$ or $x=0$.

Also, given the point is at a distance of $2$ units in the negative direction of $y$-axis,

So, its ordinate will be $-2$.
Hence, the co-ordinates of the required point are $(0,-2)$.

Therefore, option $C$ is correct.
