Question

Find the coordinates of the point on y-axis which is nearest to the point (-2,5).

Answer 1

the coordinates on Y axis nearest to the given point is perpendicular distance from it

So, point(0,5) is the required point

Answer 2

On a Cartesian plane, The point on y axis will have its coordinates as (0,y) Because, the point will be on y axis and x coordinate will be 0



So point nearst will be (0,5) And it would be 2 units away from (-2,5) which is the leaat distance
