A point A, 0) lies on the -axis (which is automatic) and is exactly the origin. Find all possible values of .

Class 9Points on the AxesCoordinate Geometry
  • Ak = 3 or k = -3
  • Bk = 9 only
  • Ck = 3 only
  • Dk = 0 only

Step-by-Step Solution

The -coordinate is already 0, so A is on the -axis. To be the origin, the abscissa must be 0: or .
Answer: A) k = 3 or k = -3
