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)
Where on the coordinate plane would point (0 -5) lie?

Why are the x and y axes called what they are?
The ordinate is the y coordinate of a point and the abscissa is the x coordinate of a point and both axes intercept each other at the point of origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane.
Can the abscissa and ordinate of the origin have different values in a graph?
The horizontal x and vertical y axes on the Cartesian plane are perpendicular to each other and they intersect at the point of origin whose coordinate is always at (0, 0)
Which point does not lie on the circle centered at A3 1 and passing through the origin 0 0?
Believe it or not, there are lots of such points.
What is the ordinate of any point on the x-axis?
It is 0.
What is the ordinate of a point on the x axis?
(x, 0)
Where on the coordinate plane would point (0-5) Lie?
It would lie on the y axis

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.
Where does the point lie if its abscissa is 0?
It's somewhere on the y-axis.
Can the abscissa and ordinate of the origin have different values in a graph?
The horizontal x and vertical y axes on the Cartesian plane are perpendicular to each other and they intersect at the point of origin whose coordinate is always at (0, 0)

Believe it or not, there are lots of such points.
Does every point lie in a quadrant and why?
No because some points can lie in the y & x-axises. Also no because 0y and 0x don't lie in any quadrant because 0 is the origin.
