• (0, 0)

• (−4, 0)

• (−5, 0)

• `(sqrt41, 0)`

Answer 1

The point on the x-axis nearest to the point (−4, −5) is (−4, 0).

Explanation:

The nearest point on the x-axis from any given point (x, y) will have the same x-coordinate but with the y-coordinate equal to 0 (since it lies on the x-axis). Thus, the point nearest to (−4,−5) is (−4, 0).
