Answer

We know that,

If the y-coordinate is zero (y = 0), the point lies on the x-axis.

If the x-coordinate is zero (x = 0), the point lies on the y-axis.

(i) P(3, 0)

Here, y-coordinate is 0.

Hence, point P lies on x-axis.

(ii) Q(0, 4)

Here, x-coordinate is 0.

Hence, point Q lies on y-axis.

(iii) R(-2, 0)

Here, y-coordinate is 0.

Hence, point R lies on x-axis.

(iv) S(0, -3)

Here, x-coordinate is 0.

Hence, S lies on y-axis.
