The value of the y coordinate of any point on the x axis is always 0.

Step-by-step explanation

Suppose, the co ordinate of any point is
(a,b) .

It means, the distance of the point from x-axis is '
b' and distance from y-axis is '
a'.

Now if the point lies on the x-axis, that means the distance of the point from x-axis will be 0. Thus, the value of '
b' will be 0.

So, the value of the y coordinate of any point on the x axis is always 0.
