Each point on the edge of a circle is equidistant from the center of the circle. The center of a circle is located at (6, 3). Which point on the y-axis could be on the edge of the circle if the distance from the center of the circle to the edge is 10 units?

A point on the circle must be 10 units from the center (6, 3). For a point on the y-axis, the x-coordinate is 0, so the horizontal distance from the center is 6 units. The vertical distance must therefore be 8 units, since 6² + 8² = 10². The point with y-coordinate 3 − 8 = −5 is (0, −5), choice D.
