Question

Write the coordinates of the point which lies on the y axis at a distance of 5 units from the origin in the negative direction of y axis

Answer 1

i think..it will be (0,-5)

as, ordinate lies on y-axis so x=0

& 5 unit from origin of negative
so, y=-5

co-ordinate will be (0,-5)

Answer 2

Given the point lies on X-axis this shows that its ^-coordinate is zero. Also, it is at a distance of 5 units in negative direction of X-axis, so its y-coordinate” is negative.Hence, the required point is (0, – 5).
so the answer is (0,-5)
