Question

In the figure below, OS=ST and the coordinates of T are (k, 5). What is the value of K?

F. -5
G. -3
H. - 2
J. 0
K. 5

SHOW EXPLANATION

Answer 1

Option (K)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

Coordinates of the point T(x, y),

x-coordinate shows the distance (ST) of point T horizontally from origin and y-coordinate show the vertical distance (OS) of point T from the origin.

If OS = ST, x and y coordinates should be same in measure.

For the point (k, 5),

OS = 5 and ST = k

Since, OS = ST,

Therefore, k = 5

Option (K) will be the correct option.
