Question

Which of the following points will lie on the x-axis?

• A. (0,3)
• B. (2,0)
• C. (1,1)
• D. (-5,0)

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B (2,0)
D (-5,0)

The Ordinates(y-coordinates) which are at zero distance from the x-axis will lie on the x-axis.
Points (2,0) and (-5,0) are at zero distance from the x-axis so these points will lie on the x-axis. Whereas (0,3) and (1,1) are at a distance of 3 and 1 from the x-axis respectively. Hence, they will not lie on the x-axis.
