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.

In the Cartesian coordinate system, the X coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point. In the point (5, 6), the number 5 denotes the X coordinate. This means that the point is located 5 units to the right of the origin along the horizontal axis.
If two numbers are given, the first one is usually the x-coordinate, the second, the y-coordinate.
y = 5x - 4 Substitute 6 in for y; then solve for x: 6 = 5x -4 10 = 5x 2 = x So, the x-coordinate is 2.
Assuming 6 is the x-coordinate and 5 is the y-coordinate, you plot your first point at (6,5). From the (0,0) point, you go to the right 6 units, and then up 5 units. Put a dot there. A line with a 0 slope is a horizontal line, so you just draw that line through the point (6,5). The line would look the same regardless of what x value is named in your equation. The equation would read y=5, because the x-coordinate is not used in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).
The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
You know which is the x coordinate and which is the y coordinate because (x,y) is an ordered pair. The x is always first and the y second. For example, the point (4,5) has x coordinate of 4 and y of 5.
Its y-coordinate is zero.
