Point (0, -7) lies
a. on the x-axis
b. in the second quadrant
c. on the y-axis
d. in the fourth quadrant

Solution:

Abscissa or the x-coordinate of a point is its distance from the y-axis and the ordinate or the y-coordinate is its distance from the x-axis.

(x, y) are called the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is x and the ordinate is y.

Therefore, the point (0, -7) lies on the y-axis.

✦ Try This: Point (2, 0) lies a. on the x-axis, b. in the second quadrant, c. on the y-axis, d. in the fourth quadrant

Abscissa or the x-coordinate of a point is its distance from the y-axis and the ordinate or the y-coordinate is its distance from the x-axis.

(x, y) are called the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is x and the ordinate is y.

Therefore, the point (2, 0) lies on the x-axis.
