A point lies on the x-axis at a distance of 7 units from the y-axis. What are its coordinates? What will be the coordinates if it lies on y-axis at a distance of –7 units from x-axis?

The point lying on x-axis has ordinate=0.

As it is at distance of 7units,

The coordinates of the point are (7,0).

The point lying on the y-axis has abscissa=0

As it is distance of -7 units from x-axis,

The point is (0,-7).
