Question

which point lies on the $y$-axis on a coordinate grid?
$(1, 7)$
$(0, 7)$
$(7, 1)$
$(7, 0)$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall y-axis point rule

Points on the y-axis have an x-coordinate of 0, formatted as $(0, y)$.

Step2: Match options to the rule

Check each option:

• $(1,7)$: $x=1

eq0$, not on y-axis

• $(0,7)$: $x=0$, fits the rule
• $(7,1)$: $x=7

eq0$, not on y-axis

• $(7,0)$: $x=7

eq0$, not on y-axis

Answer:

$(0, 7)$
