Question

By using graph we find that the point P$(0,-4)$ lies on the x-axis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Given, $P(0,-4)$.

Here, the $x$-coordinate is $0$ and $y$-coordinate is $-4$.

We know, a point on the $x$-axis has the form $(a,0)$, where $a$ is any number.

But the given point is in the form $(0,a)$ and therefore lies on the $y$-axis.

Therefore, the point $P(0,4)$ lies on the $y$-axis and so, the given statement is false.

Hence, option $B$ is correct.
