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 hasA. x-coordinate =-5B. y-coordinate =5 onlyC. y-coordiante=-5onlyD. y-coordinate =5 or -5

Answer» Correct Answer - D
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 meausre in II quadrant or III quadrant . Hence , the point P has y-coordinate =5 or -5.
