Question

A point is on the x axis at a distance of 5 units from the y
axis. What are its coordinates? What will be the coordinates if it lies on y axis at a distance of 5 units from the x axis?

Answer 1

Answer:

x axis coordinates gives us the distance of the point from y axis and vice versa.

therefore the coordinates of the point on x axis at 5 units from y axis is (5,0)

if the point lies on y axis at a distance of 5 units from x axis , it's coordinates are (0,5)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point is on the x-axis at a distance of 5 units from the y-axis, then its coordinates will be (5,0), where x=5(abscissa) and y=0(ordinate).

If a point lies on y-axis at a distance of 5

units from the x-axis, then its coordinates

will be (0,5), where x=0(abscissa) and

y=5(ordinate).
