I cannot see the graph. I'm assuming the point is on a coordinate graph. Without seeing the graph, the x coordinate cannot be found but I can give a little advice. When reading coordinates, the x coordinate (or x-ordinate to be exact) is the first number in the ordered pair (x,y). To remember this, think alphabetically, x comes before y. On a coordinate plane, to find the x-ordinate you need to count how far left/right the point is from y axis (up /down axis). Given graph paper makes this easier. If you do not have graph paper, draw a line straight up and down from the point until your line reaches the x axis (left/right axis) and then read the number where your line intersects the x-axis, this is your x ordinate. If your point is to the right of the y-axis, the x ordinate would be positive; if to the left of the y-axis, your x-ordinate would be negative; if your point is on the y axis; your x-ordinate is 0.

You can find the run by subtracting the -coordinate of the left point from that of the right point?
The run of a line segment is the horizontal distance between the x-coordinates of two points. To find the run, you subtract the x-coordinate of the left point from the x-coordinate of the right point. This calculation gives you the length of the base of the triangle formed by the line segment on the coordinate plane.
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.
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'.
How do you reflect over the x axis when a point is over the x axis already?
Reflecting a point over the x-axis involves changing the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same. If a point is already located over the x-axis, its y-coordinate is positive. When reflecting this point over the x-axis, the positive y-coordinate becomes negative, resulting in the point being located below the x-axis.
