The point of the form (a, a) always lies on:

The point(a, a) has both its x and y coordinates = a.


Therefore we get, x = y = a


A. Point on x-axis is of the form (x, 0)


B. Point on y-axis is of the form (0, y)


C. Point on line x = y is of the form (a, a)


D. Point on line x + y = 0 is of the form (a, – a)


Hence C is the correct option.
