Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The point (3, 0) lies on the x-axis, which is the horizontal line passing through the origin. This means that the y-coordinate is 0, and therefore the point does not lie in any of the four quadrants. The point (3,0) lies on the x-axis, because its y-coordinate is 0. It does not lie in any of the four quadrants, because it is not above or below the x-axis, and it is to the right of the y-axis.
