Question

The point which lies on y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis is 

(A) (0, 5) (B) (5, 0) (C) (0, – 5) (D) (– 5, 0)

Answer 1

(c) (0,-5)

Given the point lies on X-axis this shows that its ^-coordinate is zero. Also, it is at a distance of 5 units in negative direction of X-axis, so its y-coordinate” is negative.

Hence, the required point is (0, – 5).
