(2) Out of the following, point …….. lies to the right of the origin on X- axis.
(A) (-2,0) (B) (0,2) (C) (2,3) (D) (2,0)
Answer:-
Out of the following, point 2,0 lies to the right of the origin on X- axis.
Explanation:-
To determine which point lies to the right of the origin on the X-axis, we need to understand the Cartesian coordinate system.
The Cartesian coordinate system is a system used to represent points in a two-dimensional space. It consists of two perpendicular number lines, the X-axis and the Y-axis, intersecting at the origin (0,0). The X-axis represents the horizontal dimension and the Y-axis represents the vertical dimension.
To determine whether a point lies to the right of the origin on the X-axis, we need to look at its X-coordinate value. If the X-coordinate value is positive, then the point lies to the right of the origin. If it is negative, then the point lies to the left of the origin. If the X-coordinate value is zero, then the point is on the origin itself.
Let’s look at the given points one by one:
(A) (-2,0): This point has an X-coordinate value of -2, which is negative. Therefore, it lies to the left of the origin on the X-axis.
(B) (0,2): This point has an X-coordinate value of 0, which means it is on the Y-axis and not on the X-axis.
(C) (2,3): This point has an X-coordinate value of 2, which is positive. Therefore, it lies to the right of the origin on the X-axis.
(D) (2,0): This point has an X-coordinate value of 2, which is positive. Therefore, it lies to the right of the origin on the X-axis.
So, the correct answer is either (C) (2,3) or (D) (2,0), as both points lie to the right of the origin on the X-axis.
