Question

find the coordinates on y- axis that is nearest to the point (-2,5)

Answer 1

(0,5) y axis ............

Answer 2

Answer:

The coordinates on y- axis that is nearest to the point (-2,5), is (0,5).

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point is defined as P(x,y), then

1. The point (x,0) on x- axis, is nearest to the point P(x,y).

2. The point (0,y) on y- axis, is nearest to the point P(x,y).

The given point is (-2,5). Here the x-coordinate is -2 and y-coordinate is 5.

1. The point (-2,0) on x- axis, is nearest to the point (-2,5).

2. The point (0,5) on y- axis, is nearest to the point  (-2,5).

Therefore the coordinates on y- axis that is nearest to the point (-2,5), is (0,5).
