Where would a point lie if its ordinate is 0?
If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.
Why is the 'X' co-ordinate written first in the co-ordinate of a point?
Because the x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical and they both are perpendicular to each other at the point of origin (0, 0)
When a point lies on the x-axis what do you know about it y-coordinatewhen a point lies on the y-axis what do you know about its x-coordinate?
If a point lies on the x-axis then by definition it is located at (x,0) ie the y coordinate is 0.If a point lies on the y-axis then it's located at (0,y) ie the x coordinate is 0.
What is ordinate in algebra?
For a point (x,y), y is the ordinate. So let's suppose you have a point (3,4) The 3 will be three spaces to the right of (0,0) on the x axis. And the y will be four spaces above that. In this example, the ordinate is 4.
This y-axis is also called the?
The y axis is the vertical axis and a y coordinate is the 'ordinate' The x axis is the horizontal and a x coordinate is the 'abscissa'
What is the ordinate of a point on the x axis?
(x, 0)
How do you use ordinate in a sentence?
Keep in mind that 'ordinate' is a noun and refers to the distance between a point and the x-axis on a Cartesian plane, or the y-coordinate of the point. You could say, then, "The ordinate of point A is (blank)," which would refer to the distance from point A to the x-axis, or if you want to assure that there is no confusion, "The ordinate of point A to the x-axis is (blank)." To my knowledge, that is the only use for the word 'ordinate.'
What is the ordinate of any point on the x-axis?
It is 0.
When a point lies on the y axis what do you know about its x axis?
If a point lies on the y axis, then x=0
Is the x axis the same as the ordinate?
No the x axis is the abscissa and the y axis the ordinate.
What does it mean when the x coordinate or y coordinate of a point is 0?
When the X - Coordinate is 0: The point lies on Y - Axis. Eg. (0,3) lies on Y - Axis Eg. (0,5) lies on Y - Axis Eg. (0,1) lies on Y - Axis When the Y - Coordinate is 0: The point lies on X - Axis. Eg. (2,0) lies on X - Axis Eg. (3,0) lies on X - Axis Eg. (6,0) lies on X - Axis
Is the x cordinate of a point on the y axis zero?
yes, any point " on the y-axis" has its x co-ordinate as zero.
Where would a point lie if its ordinate is 0?
If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.
Why is the 'X' co-ordinate written first in the co-ordinate of a point?
Because the x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical and they both are perpendicular to each other at the point of origin (0, 0)
What is the x coordinate of the point given below?
I cannot see the graph. I'm assuming the point is on a coordinate graph. Without seeing the graph, the x coordinate cannot be found but I can give a little advice. When reading coordinates, the x coordinate (or x-ordinate to be exact) is the first number in the ordered pair (x,y). To remember this, think alphabetically, x comes before y. On a coordinate plane, to find the x-ordinate you need to count how far left/right the point is from y axis (up /down axis). Given graph paper makes this easier. If you do not have graph paper, draw a line straight up and down from the point until your line reaches the x axis (left/right axis) and then read the number where your line intersects the x-axis, this is your x ordinate. If your point is to the right of the y-axis, the x ordinate would be positive; if to the left of the y-axis, your x-ordinate would be negative; if your point is on the y axis; your x-ordinate is 0.
What is the another name for the x-axis?
The abscissa.It as a word that means the X axis, or the distance a point if from it.
A point having a negative abscissa and negative ordinate is in quadrant?
Coordinate is the common name. Abscissa is used for the information along the X-axis. Ordinate is used for the information along Y-axis. So abscissa is the x co-ordinate, and ordinate is the y co-ordinate. As they are both negative, then the point must be located in the third quadrant.
