Question
If y-coordinate of a point is zero, then this point always lies ______.
Options
in I quadrant
in II quadrant
on x-axis
on y-axis
Solution
If y-coordinate of a point is zero, then this point always lies on x-axis.
Explanation:
If y-coordinate of a point is zero, then this point always lies on x-axis. Because perpendicular distance of the point from x-axis measured along y-axis is zero.
