The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
What is the X coordinate of the point 5 6?
Oh honey, the X coordinate of the point 5 6 is simply 5. It's like asking what color the sky is during the day - it's blue, no rocket science there. So, in this case, the X coordinate is just the first number in the pair, easy peasy lemon squeezy.
What is true about every point on a x-axis on a coordinate plane?
Its y-coordinate is zero.
What is the y coordinate of a point on the x axis?
The y-coordinate would be zero. The y-coord. measures far up or down the point is vertically, so if the point is on the x-axis it has to be zero.
