Question

Point k is located on the y-axis 8 units away from the origin. what are the coordinates of point k​

Answer 1

Given:

Point k is located on the y-axis 8 units away from the origin.

To find:

The coordinates of point k​.

Solution:

Since point k is located on the y-axis, therefore it means the x-coordinate is 0.

Point k is 8 units away from the origin. So, it can be either or positive or negative side of y-axis.

If k is on the negative side of y-axis then y-coordinate of point k is -8.

If k is on the positive side of y-axis then y-coordinate of point k is 8.

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point k are either (0,-8) or (0,8).
