A point that lies on the x-axis has its
- x-coordinate equal to zero
- y-coordinate equal to zero
- both coordinates equal
- coordinates undefined
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. y-coordinate equal to zero
1. Every point on the x-axis is at height zero.
2. So its **y-coordinate is zero** (form (x, 0)).
3. Similarly, a point on the y-axis has its x-coordinate zero.
