By convention, 'x' is almost always the independent variable, but it doesn't have to be.
It is called the abscissa.
(x,y) or (variable that cones first in the alphabet, variable that comes second in the alphabet)
If it is called the "y-axis", that means it refers to variable "y".
It is called a graph. Graphs consist of many such points.
By convention, 'x' is almost always the independent variable, but it doesn't have to be.
Ordered pairs are used to locate points on the graph. The first number in an ordered pair corresponds to the horizontal axis, and the second corresponds to the vertical axis.
The idea is to replace one variable in the equation by the first number in the ordered pair, the other variable with the second number in the ordered pair, do the calculations, and see whether the resulting expressions are indeed equal.
It is called the abscissa.
the first number in an ordered pair is the x coordinate it is one of the values that the independent variable has taken on

It is called a graph. Graphs consist of many such points.
The point on a number line that corresponds to a number is called an "ordered pair" of a real number.
On whichever variable is considered the y-variable. It would be the second element of each ordered pair of data points.
Any ordered pair that makes the set true
