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.


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.


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


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.

What is the y coordinate with the point given below?

To provide you with the y-coordinate, I would need to know the specific point you are referring to. Points are usually given in the format (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate. Please provide the point, and I'll help you identify the y-coordinate.


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 points shown below are on the line given by the equation y equals 2x?

To determine which points are on the line given by the equation ( y = 2x ), you can substitute the x-coordinate of each point into the equation and see if the resulting y-coordinate matches the point's y-coordinate. For example, if you have the point (1, 2), substituting ( x = 1 ) gives ( y = 2(1) = 2 ), so this point is on the line. Repeat this process for each point to find which ones satisfy the equation.


How is a point in a coordinate grid represented?

It is represented in the form of (x, y) whereas x and y have given values


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 does it mean to reflect a point across the x or y axis?

Reflecting a point P, in the x axis is finding another point Q such that they both have the same x-coordinate and that the y-coordinate of Q is the additive inverse of the y-coordinate of P. Thus, is P is 4.5 above the x-axis, then Q is 4.5 below it and if P is below, then Q is above by the same distance.Reflection in the y-axis is similar except that now it is the y-coordinate that remains the same and the x-coordinate that changes. If P was to the left then Q is to the right (and conversely).


In a reflection along the x axis a given coordinate 2 -1 transforms itself into?

In a reflection along the x-axis, the y-coordinate of a point changes sign while the x-coordinate remains the same. Therefore, the coordinate ( (2, -1) ) transforms into ( (2, 1) ).


What is the x-coordinate of a point called?

It is called that point...(say, 5, -4) but in the x coordinate. a question may be...Find the x cooriinate of 5, -4, and the x coordinate of it would just be caalled the x coordinate of 5, -4

When a point lies on the y-axis, its x coordinate must be zero.

Which is not a step when constructing a line parallel to the x-axis of a coordinate plane through a point?

One step that is not involved in constructing a line parallel to the x-axis through a given point is determining the slope of the line to be constructed. A line parallel to the x-axis has a constant y-coordinate, so the only requirement is to maintain the same y-value as the given point while varying the x-coordinate. Thus, the construction simply involves drawing a horizontal line through the specified point.
