A point (p, q) lies on the -axis AND on the -axis at the same time. What can you conclude?

Class 9Points on the AxesCoordinate Geometry
  • AThe point is the origin (0, 0).
  • BSuch a point cannot exist.
  • Cp = q but both are non-zero.
  • DThe point lies in the first quadrant.

Step-by-Step Solution

On the -axis ; on the -axis . So , q) = (0, 0), which is the origin — the only common point of the two axes.
Answer: A) The point is the origin (0, 0).
