What is the x coordinate or y coordinate of a point is 0?
If you mean at the Origin (where both X and Y cross), then the coordinates would be (0,0)================================-- If the 'x' coordinate is zero, then the point is on t he y-axis.-- If the 'y' coordinate is zero, then the point is on the x-axis.-- If both coordinates are zero, then the point must be the onethat's on both axes ... the 'origin'.
What is the name of the x and y in an ordered pair?
The first and second coordinate. X is the first coordinate and y is the second.
How can you tell by looking at the coordinate of a point whether the point is on the x-axis or y-axis?
the x coordinate is always before the y coordinate just like in the alphabet
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.
Is the line that crosses the y-axis called a y-intercept or a x-intercept?
A line is just a line, but the y-coordinate (the point where the line intersects the y-axis) is termed the y intercept. This point has an x coordinate that is always zero and the y coordinate can be positive, zero, or negative
What do indepeendent variable mean?
The x coordinate. The y coordinate is the dependent variable.
What does it mean to be off the x axis?
It means that the y-coordinate (or any coordinate other than the x-coordinate) is non-zero.
What does the coordinate x-73 y-83 mean?
10
What is the x coordinate or y coordinate of a point is 0?
If you mean at the Origin (where both X and Y cross), then the coordinates would be (0,0)================================-- If the 'x' coordinate is zero, then the point is on t he y-axis.-- If the 'y' coordinate is zero, then the point is on the x-axis.-- If both coordinates are zero, then the point must be the onethat's on both axes ... the 'origin'.
Which point is located on the x-axis of a coordinate grid?
The x-axis is infinite. Any number can be on the x-axis of the coordinate plane. If you mean what is the y-coordinate, every point on the x-axis has a y coordinate of zero: (x, 0)
What is the x coordinate for all y-intercepts?
The x coordinate for all y intercepts is 0, just as the y coordinate for all x intercepts is 0.
What is the x-coordinate for a point on the y-axis?
x-coordinate on y axis is 0
What is the y-coordinate for a point on the x-axis?
x-coordinate on y axis is 0
How can you name a point on a graph?
Compare it's position to the origin. The x coordinate is the number of units to the right of the origin. (If it is to the left of the origin the x coordinate is negative.) The y coordinate is the number of units above the origin. (If it is below, the y coordinate is negative.) The point is denoted (x,y) with the x coordinate in place of the x and the y coordinate in place of the y.
What do you use first in coordinates y or x?
You use the x-coordinate before the y- coordinate.
What describes the location of any point on a coordinate grid?
its called an ordered pair. it is an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate (x,y)
What exist is the y-coordinate increases as the x-coordinate increase?
The ratio of y/x is called the slope.
