Question

Write the coordinates of the point which: (i) lies on neither axes at a distance of 2 units from the x-axis and 7 units from the y axis (ii) lies on the x- axis with abscissa -3 (iii) lies on the y-axis with ordinate 5.

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).
