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.

You can find the run by subtracting the -coordinate of the left point from that of the right point?
x coordinate
How can you tell by looking at the coordinate of a point whether the point is on the x-axis or y-axis?
the x coordinate is always before the y coordinate just like in the alphabet
Is the ordered pair 5 2 the same point as 2 5 in the xy-plane?
No. In an ordered pair for a point in the xy-plane the first number is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate. (2, 5) is the point with an x-coordinate of 2 and a y-coordinate of 5; (5, 2) is the point with an x-coordinate of 5 and a y-coordinate of 2. Only if the x- and y- coordinates are equal are the points the same point. However, the point (5, 2) is the reflection of the point (2, 5) in the line y = x.
What is the x coordinate or y coordinate of a point is 0?
If you mean at the Origin (where both X and Y cross), then the coordinates would be (0,0)================================-- If the 'x' coordinate is zero, then the point is on t he y-axis.-- If the 'y' coordinate is zero, then the point is on the x-axis.-- If both coordinates are zero, then the point must be the onethat's on both axes ... the 'origin'.
What is the abscissa of a point on the x-axis?
The 'abscissa' is the x coordinate on the Cartesian plane and the 'ordinate' is the y coordinate on the Cartesian plane
What is the X coordinate of the point 5 6?
If two numbers are given, the first one is usually the x-coordinate, the second, the y-coordinate.
How can you name a point on a graph?
Compare it's position to the origin. The x coordinate is the number of units to the right of the origin. (If it is to the left of the origin the x coordinate is negative.) The y coordinate is the number of units above the origin. (If it is below, the y coordinate is negative.) The point is denoted (x,y) with the x coordinate in place of the x and the y coordinate in place of the y.
How is a point in a coordinate grid represented?
It is represented in the form of (x, y) whereas x and y have given values
What does it mean to reflect a point across the x or y axis?
Reflecting a point P, in the x axis is finding another point Q such that they both have the same x-coordinate and that the y-coordinate of Q is the additive inverse of the y-coordinate of P. Thus, is P is 4.5 above the x-axis, then Q is 4.5 below it and if P is below, then Q is above by the same distance.Reflection in the y-axis is similar except that now it is the y-coordinate that remains the same and the x-coordinate that changes. If P was to the left then Q is to the right (and conversely).
What is the x-coordinate of a point called?
It is called that point...(say, 5, -4) but in the x coordinate. a question may be...Find the x cooriinate of 5, -4, and the x coordinate of it would just be caalled the x coordinate of 5, -4
What quadrant is a point that has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in?
The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
When a point lies on the x - axis what do you know about its y- coordinate?
When a point lies on the y-axis, its x coordinate must be zero.
What is the definition to x-coordinate?
Given an ordered pair, (x,y), the first number is the x coordinate.
You can find the run by subtracting the -coordinate of the left point from that of the right point?
x coordinate
What is the x-coordinate for a point on the y-axis?
x-coordinate on y axis is 0
When a point lies on the y-axis what do you know about its x-coordinate?
Its x coordinate is 0.
What is the y-coordinate for a point on the x-axis?
x-coordinate on y axis is 0
