Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Use the mid-point formula .

Hint 2

A point with x-coordinate 0 lies on which axis?

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Mid-point .

  2. The x-coordinate is 0 and the y-coordinate is not 0, so the point lies on the y-axis. This is option (B).

    1 mark
