Question
The point which lies on y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis is ______.
Options
(0, 5)
(5, 0)
(0, –5)
(–5, 0)
Solution
The point which lies on y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of y-axis is (0, –5).
Explanation:
Since the point lies on y-axis, therefore its x-coordinate is zero.
Also, it is at a distance of 5 units in negative direction of y-axis, so its y-coordinate is negative.
Therefore, the required point is (0, –5).
