Given:
Point k is located on the y-axis 8 units away from the origin.
To find:
The coordinates of point k.
Solution:
Since point k is located on the y-axis, therefore it means the x-coordinate is 0.
Point k is 8 units away from the origin. So, it can be either or positive or negative side of y-axis.
If k is on the negative side of y-axis then y-coordinate of point k is -8.
If k is on the positive side of y-axis then y-coordinate of point k is 8.
Therefore, the possible coordinates of point k are either (0,-8) or (0,8).
