A point lies on the x-axis at a distance of 7 units from the y-axis. What are its coordinates? What will be the coordinates if it lies on y-axis at a distance of from x-axis ?
Answer: (7,0)
Solution.
We know that the point that lies on x-axis must have its y-coordinate as zero.
Here it is given that a point lies on the x-axis at a distance of 7 units from the y-axis.
So y-coordinate = 0
x-coordinate is the perpendicular distance from the y-axis which is given as 7 units
So, x-coordinate is 7.
Hence coordinates are (7, 0)
