Solution
GIVEN: If P is a point on x axis such that its distance from the origin is 3 units.
TO FIND: The coordinates of a point Q on OY such that OP= OQ.
On x axis y coordinates is 0. Hence the coordinates of point P will be (3, 0) as it is given that the distance from origin is 3 units.
Now then the coordinates of Q on OY such that OP = OQ
On y axis x coordinates is 0. Hence the coordinates of point Q will be (0, 3)

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
