Question

Which statement about the points (0, 3), (2, 8), (8, 2), and (0, 1) is true?

Answer 1

The true statement is
  The points (0, 3) and (0, 1) are the same distance from the y-axis.

_____
It is true because both these points lie ON the y-axis.

Answer 2

Answer:

The points (0, 3) and (0, 1) are the same distance from the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are,

(0, 3), (2, 8), (8, 2), (0, 1),

In an order pair the first value represents x and second value represents y in the coordinate plane,

Since, in first quadrant both x and y are positive,

⇒ (2, 8) and (8, 2) are lying in first quadrant.

Now, the value of x represents the distance from y-axis and value of y represents the distance from x-axis,

∵ 1 < 2 < 3 < 8,

i.e. (0, 1) is closest to the x-axis.

Now, both (0, 3) and (0, 1) are lying in the y-axis,

i.e. the points (0, 3) and (0, 1) are the same distance from the y-axis.

Hence, only SECOND statements is true.
