Question
The x-coordinate of any point lying on the y-axis will be ______.
Advertisements
Solution
The x-coordinate of any point lying on the y-axis will be zero.
Explanation:
Since, the x-coordinate represents the distance of the point from y-axis is zero, therefore the points lying on the y-axis have x-coordinate as zero.
