Question

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

Need full solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

(-2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

the nearest distance or nearest point from any line is always perpendidular to it.

hence,  the perpendicular distance of a point(-2,5) from y - axis is always perpendicular length i.e. x co-ordinate.

hence co-ordinate nearest to y-axis is (-2,0)

If you understood my way of explanation plz do tick it as brainiest.

thanks!!.. :)
