Question

Describe the location of the point having the following coordinates.

Answer 1

Answer:  The point will be located on the negative Y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to describe the location of the point with zero abscissa, negative ordinate.

ABSCISSA : It is the x-coordinate of a point.

ORDINATE : It is the y-coordinate of a point.

Since the given point has zero abscissa, so its x-coordinate is 0.

That means, the point lies on the Y-axis.

Also, since the point has negative ordinate, so its y-coordinate is negative.

That is, the point lies on the negative Y-axis.

The point is of the form (0, y) = (0, -b), where b > 0.

Thus, the point lies on the negative Y-axis.

Let, b = 3, then the point is (0, y) = (0, -3).

The location of the point is shown in the attached figure. It lies on the negative Y-axis at a distance of 3 units from the origin.
