Question

name the axis on which a point has its abscissa equal to zero​

Answer 1

Answer:

Origin has zero distance from both the axes so that its abscissa and ordinate are both zero. Therefore, the coordinates of the origin are (0, 0). The coordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0) and that of the point on the y-axis are (0, y).

Answer 2

The axis on which a point has its abscissa equal to zero is the y-axis.

• The distance of a point from the origin that is (0, 0), on the x-axis is known as the abscissa and on the y-axis, it is called the ordinate.
• Now, as we can see that while moving through the x-axis starting from the origin, we won't be having any distance toward the y-axis, so, the ordinate of any point on the x-axis will be 0 always.
• Similarly, when going upwards from the origin, along the y-axis, for each and every point, there will be no distance toward the x-axis. It means it is the y-axis, on which the value of abscissa, or x- coordinate will be always 0.
• So, the coordinates of any point on the y-axis will be represented as (0, y), and on the x-axis, as (x, 0).
