Question:
The point which lies on Y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of Y-axis is
(a) (0,5)
(b) (5,0)
(c) (0,-5)
(d)(-5,0)
Solution:
(C) 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).
