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)

The x-coordinate of a point?
In an ordered pair like (2, 5), the first number is the x-coordinate. It is the horizontal distance to the right from the Origin to that point.
The x value in a coordinate pair?
The x value is the first of a coordinate pair and tells you how far from the y axis the point is.
What does the math term coordinate mean?
In the Cartesian coordinate system, a point represents a position in a two-dimensional space or plane. This means that that point has an x-value and a y-value. This is written as (x,y) and the entire paranthesis is the coordinate. Examples of coordinates: (3,6) and (-2, 12).
How do you verify if a point lies on a circle?
If ... the square of (the x-coordinate of the point minus the x-coordinate of the center of the circle) added to the square of (the y-coordinate of the point minus the y-coordinate of the center of the circle) is equal to the square of the circle's radius, then the point is on the circle.
When a point lies on the x axis what do you know about its x coordinate?
you should know exactly what it is 2nd Answer: You nothing about its x coordinate, but the y coordinate = 0
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.
The x-coordinate of a point?
In an ordered pair like (2, 5), the first number is the x-coordinate. It is the horizontal distance to the right from the Origin to that point.
The x value in a coordinate pair?
The x value is the first of a coordinate pair and tells you how far from the y axis the point is.
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 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.
You can find the run by subtracting the -coordinate of the left point from that of the right point?
x coordinate
What is the y-coordinate for a point on the x-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 x-coordinate for a point on the y-axis?
x-coordinate on y axis is 0
