Q16 of 40 Page 3

If two points lie on the y-axis and the distance between them is 5 units, and one of the points is 2 unit from the origin. Find the coordinates of points.

As the points lie on the y-axis, abscissa for the points is 0,


Let A(0, x) and B(0, y) be the coordinates of the points.


And


Let x = 2, as it is given that one point is at 2 units from origin.



Therefore, the second point will be, y = x + 5 = 7


Hence, the points are (0, 2) and (0, 7).
