Decide which of the following statements...

Decide which of the following statements is true and which is false. Give reasons for your answer. A point whose x-coordinate is zero, will lie on the y-axis. A point whose y-coordinate is zero, will lie on x-axis. The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0). Points whose `x\ a n d\ y` coordinates are equal, lie on a line passing through the origin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Solution:
(i) A point whose x-coordinate is zero and y-coordinate is non-zero will lie on the y-axis is true.
(ii) A point whose y-coordinate is zero and x-coordinate is 5 will lie on the y-axis is false, the point whose y-coordinate is zero and x-coordinate is 5 will lie on the x-axis.
(iii) The coordinates of the origin are (0,0) is true.
