Question

Find the coordinate of the point whose ordinate is -4 and which lies on y-axis

Answer 1

For a better understanding of the explanation given here please find the diagram of the point in the attached file.

We have been given that the point lies on the y axis. Thus, if the point lies on the y axis, then its x coordinate or abscissa will be zero.

Now, the point passes through y=-4. It is given in the question.

So, we know that the point has x=0 and y=-4.

Therefore, the point will be (x,y)=(0,-4) which is the required answer.
