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 –7 units from x-axis?
The point lying on x-axis has ordinate=0.
As it is at distance of 7units,
The coordinates of the point are (7,0).
The point lying on the y-axis has abscissa=0
As it is distance of -7 units from x-axis,
The point is (0,-7).
