Question

Find the coordinates of the point

(i) which lies on X and Y-axes both.

(ii) whose ordinate is – 4 and which lies on Y-axis.

(iii) whose abscissa is 5 and which lies on X-axis.

Answer 1

(i) The point which lies on X and Y-axes both is origin whose coordinates are (0, 0).

(ii) The point whose ordinate is – 4 and which lies on Y-axis, i.e., whose x-coordinate is zero, is (0,-4).

(iii) The point whose abscissa is 5 and which lies on X-axis, i.e., whose y-coordinate is zero, is (5, 0).
