- ✓
$x-$axis
AnswerCorrect option: D. $x-$axis
The given point of the form $= (a, 0)$
Here, x-co-ordinate $= a$ and y-co-ordinate $= 0$
$\therefore$ The point of the form $(a, 0)$ always lies on x-axis.
Thus, the point of the form $(a, 0)$ always lies on x-axis.

If the perpendicular distance of a point $P$ from the $x-$axis is $5$ units and the foot of the perpendicular lies on the negative direction of $x-$axis, then the point $P$ has.
- ✓
$y$ coordinate $= 5$ or $-5$
- B
$x$ coordinate $= -5$
- C
$y$ coordinate $= 5$ only
- D
$y$ coordinate $= -5$ only
AnswerCorrect option: A. $y$ coordinate $= 5$ or $-5$
We know that, the perpendicular distance of a point from the $X$-axis gives $y$-coordinate of that point. Here, foot of perpendicular lies on the negative direction of $X$ -axis, so perpendicular distance can be measure in $II$ quadrant or $III $ quadrant. Hence, the point $P$ has $y$-coordinate $=5$ or $-5 .$
