If a point lies on X-axis, then what are its y and z co-ordinates ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is given that a point lies on the `X"-axis"`.
According to three-dimensional geometry,
If a point lies on the `X"-axis"`, its `y` and `z"-coordinates"` are zero.
If a point lies on the `Y"-axis"`, its `x` and `z"-coordinates"` are zero.
If a point lies on the `Z"-axis"`, its `x` and `y"-coordinates"` are zero.
Conclusively,
If a point lies on the `X"-axis"`, its `y` and `z"-coordinates"` are,
`y=0` and `z=0`
