Question

Write the coordinates of the point which – (a) Lies on the X-axis and is at a distance of 4 units to the right of the origin. (b) Lies on the Y-axis and is at a distance of 5 units below the X-axis.

Answer 1

a. if the point lies on x axis then the value of ordinate(y axis) is 0

and the distance of the point is 4 unit to the right of origin means it is positive.

so the coordinates of the point is (4,0)

b. if the point lies on y axis then the value of abscissa(x axis) is 0

and the distance of point is 5 unit below the x axis means it is negative 5.

so the coordinates of the point is (0,-5)

please mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

coordinates of point (a) (4,0)

coordinates of pont (b) (0,-5)

EXPLANATION

Every point on the x-axis is at a distance of 0 unit from the x-axis.So it's ordinate is 0.

Every point on the y-axis is at a distance of 0 unit from y-axis.So it's abscissa is 0.

right of the origin represent positive sign of abscissa

So,coordinates of point (a) (4,0)

below of origin represent negative sign of ordinate

So,coordinates of pont (b) (0,-5)
