alleryThe point (0, -5) lies on
AThe positive x-axis
BThe positive y-axis
CThe negative x-axis
DThe negative y-axis
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The negative y-axis
1. x-coordinate is 0, so the point is on the y-axis.
2. y = -5 is negative, so it is below the origin.
3. Hence it lies on the negative y-axis.
4. So option A is correct.
