The point (0, 5, 0) lies on the:

Answer: y-axis.

  • A y-axis
  • B z-axis
  • C XY-plane only
  • D x-axis

Correct answer: A. y-axis

Explanation: With x = 0 and z = 0 and a non-zero y, the point lies on the y-axis.

zxyOP(x, y, z)first octant:x>0, y>0, z>0

Concept context

Coordinate axes and planes in space, octants, distance between two points, and the section formula
