Question

Find the coordinates pf the point whose abscissa equals the ordinate and whose distance from y‐axis is 3 units in the positive direction x‐axis.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the required point be P.

Given, the point lies on x-axis.

Then, its ordinate is 0 or y=0.

Also, given the point is at a distance of 3 units to the left of the origin.

So, its abscissa will be −3.

Hence, the co-ordinates of the required point are (−3,0).

Therefore, option A is correct.
