Answer:
The coordinates of required point are (0,5).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the coordinates of required point be (0,y), because the x-coordinate of a point on y-axis is always 0.
If a point is defined as (a,b), then the distance from x-axis is |b| and the distance from y-axis is |a|.
The given point is (-2,5). So, the distance from y-axis is 2.
The distance between (-2,5) and (0,y) is 2.
squaring both the sides.
Therefore the coordinates of required point are (0,5).
