That depends on if the variable "number of students" is dependent on something else. For example, if the number of students is dependent on the time of year, then it is charted along the y-axis. If the number of students is independent, and the school's yearly expenses are dependent on the number of students, than the number of students should be tracked by the x-axis.

How do you make ordered pair?

You are going to have a x axis and a y axis on your coordinate graph. Let's say that the number in the x axis is 3 and the number on the y axis is -5. The x axis will bring the x coordinate, which is he 1st number in the ordered pair. The y axis will bring you the y coordinate, which is the second number of an ordered pair. This means that 3, the number on the x axis is first and -5, the number on the y axis is second. In this example, the ordered pair is (3,-5). So pretty much, an ordered pair is (x coordinate, y coordinate). Thank you for reading my answer.


When the first number in an ordered pair is 0 where is the point located?

The first number in an ordered pair (of rectangular coordinates) is the distance from the origin along the x- axis. If the number is 0, then any point having this coordinate must lie on the y-axis. If the second number is 0 then the point is at the origin (0,0). If the second number is positive then the point lies on the y-axis above the origin. If the second number is negative then the point lies on the y-axis below the origin.


What type of number is to the right of zero on the x axis and above zero on the y axis?

Positive x- and y-coordinates of a point in the first quadrant.


Why are the x and y axis on a graph?

On the Cartesiane plane the horizontal number line is the x axis and the vertical number line is the y axis and both axes are perpendicular to each other meeting at the origin whose coordinates are at (0, 0)


When graphing rise over run and there is no run how do you graph it?

If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative). If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative). If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative). If there is no run, the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant number. In that case, the graph is a straight vertical line, at a distance c to the right of the y-axis (left of the y-axis if c is negative).
