Question

Write the equations for the x and y -axes.

Open in App

Solution

Since all the point lies on x-axis have their y coordinates must be zero.

Thus, the equation of x-axis is y=0.

Similarly, all the points lies on y-axis have their x coordinates must be zero.

Thus, the equation of y-axis is x=0.
