Find the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is 5 and which lies on x-axis

Solution:

Given, abscissa is 5

We have to find the coordinates of the point.

The horizontal coordinate of a point in a plane cartesian coordinate system obtained by measuring parallel to the x-axis is called the abscissa of the point.

Given, the point lies on x-axis

So, the y-coordinate is 0

The x-coordinate is 5.

Therefore, the coordinates of the point are (5, 0)

✦ Try This: Find the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is 3 and which lies on x-axis.

Given, abscissa is 3

We have to find the coordinates of the point.

The horizontal coordinate of a point in a plane cartesian coordinate system obtained by measuring parallel to the x-axis is called the abscissa of the point.

Given, the point lies on x-axis

So, the y-coordinate is 0

The x-coordinate is 3.

Therefore, the coordinates of the point are (3, 0)
