Question

A point lies in the x-axis at a distance of 5 units from the y axis on the right of the origin. What are its coordinates? What will it be the coordinate if it lies on y-axis at adistance of 5 units from x'axis below the origin.

Answer 1

Explanation:

As it lies on the x axis, the y coordinate = 0, and points to the right of the origin are positive.

The coordinates are (5, 0).

If it lies on the y axis the x coordinate = 0 and y coordinate is negative as its below the origin.

This point is (0, -5).
