The point which lies on Y-axis at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of Y-axis is

A

(0,5)

B

(5,0)

C

(0,-5)

D

(-5,0)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Given the point lie on Y-axis this shows that its x-coordinate is zero. Also , it is at a distance of 5 units in negative direction of Y-axis , so its y-coordinate is negative. Hence, the required point is (0,-5).
