on which axis point 0, -3 will lie
Answers
Ques: On which axis the point (0,-3) will lie ?
Ans: It will lie on y-axis.
If x coordinate is 0,the point will lie on y-axis.
If y coordinate is 0,the point will lie on x-axis.
If both x nd y are 0,the point will be on origin.
Therefore the given point ( 0, -3 ) lies on the 'y-axis'.
Given:
The point = ( 0, -3 )
To Find:
On which axis does the point ( 0, -3 ) lie.
Solution:
The given question can be answered very easily as shown below.
Given point is ( 0, -3 )
Concept:
⇒ If the X-coordinate of a point is equal to zero then the point lies on the y-axis.
⇒ If the Y-coordinate of a point is equal to zero then the point lies on the x-axis.
⇒ If both the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of a point are equal to zero then the point lies on the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis which is known as the 'Origin'.
Now in the given point ( 0, -3 ), X-coordinate is zero so the point lies on the y-axis.
Therefore the given point ( 0, -3 ) lies on the 'y-axis'.
