What is the x-coordinate of a point on the y-axis? Class 9

Question 1.

What is the x-coordinate of a point on the y-axis? Class 9

Answer:

The x-coordinate of any point on the y-axis is 0.


Question 2.

Is there a similar generalisation for a point on the x-axis? Class 9

Answer:

Yes. For any point lying on the x-axis, the y-coordinate is always 0.


Question 3.

Does point Q (y, x) ever coincide with point P (x, y)? Justify your answer. Class 9

Answer:

Yes, points Q(y, x) and P(x, y) coincide only when x = y.

When x = y, both points represents the same point, for example P(3, 3) and Q(3, 3).

When x ≠ y, the two points represent different locations on the plane and do not coincide.
