Question

What are the coordinates of the point where the lines $y=6$ and $x=-6$ intersect?

• A. $(6,6)$
• B. $(-6,-6)$
• C. $(6,-6)$
• D. $(-6,6)$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $(-6,6)$

We need to find out the coordinates of the point at which the lines $y=6$ and $x=-6$ intersect.

On the line $y=6$, $y$-value is always the same, and it is $6$ for all values of $x$. Whereas on the line $x=-6$, the value of $x$ is always $-6$ for all values of $y$.

The line $y=6$ is 6 units above x- axis and the line $x=-6$ is 6 units to the left of x-axis.




$\therefore y=6$ and $x=-6$ intesect at $(-6,6)$


As x- coordinate always comes first, then y - coordinate in a point, the point of intersection of $x=-6$ and $y=6$ is $(-6,6)$, hence, option (d.) is the correct one.
