Question

(LC)

The following coordinates of four points are shown:

P(1, 6), Q(5, 3), R(6, 1), S(3, 6)

Which point is closest to the origin along the x-axis? (1 point)

Group of answer choices

P

Q

R

S

Answer 1

The point P(1,6) is closest to the origin along the x-axis.

What is coordinate geometry?

A coordinate plane is a 2D plane which is formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines known as the x-axis and y-axis.

Here we have four points that are:-

P(1, 6),  Q(5, 3),    R(6, 1),      S(3, 6)

As we can see that point P has the minimum value of x which is 1. I have also plotted the point on the graph attached with the answer.

Hence the point P(1,6) is closest to the origin along the x-axis.
