A point is on the x - axis. What are its y - coordinate and z -coordinates?

Solution:

If a point in three-dimensional geometry is on the x - axis, then the coordinates of y and z are 0.

So, the point is (x, 0, 0).

Note:

• If a point is on the x-axis, its y and z coordinates are 0.
• If a point is on the y-axis, its x and z coordinates are 0.
• If a point is on the z-axis, its x and y coordinates are 0.
