Where would a point lie if its ordinate is 0?
If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.
Why is the 'X' co-ordinate written first in the co-ordinate of a point?
Because the x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical and they both are perpendicular to each other at the point of origin (0, 0)
When a point lies on the x-axis what do you know about it y-coordinatewhen a point lies on the y-axis what do you know about its x-coordinate?
If a point lies on the x-axis then by definition it is located at (x,0) ie the y coordinate is 0.If a point lies on the y-axis then it's located at (0,y) ie the x coordinate is 0.
What is ordinate in algebra?
For a point (x,y), y is the ordinate. So let's suppose you have a point (3,4) The 3 will be three spaces to the right of (0,0) on the x axis. And the y will be four spaces above that. In this example, the ordinate is 4.
This y-axis is also called the?
The y axis is the vertical axis and a y coordinate is the 'ordinate' The x axis is the horizontal and a x coordinate is the 'abscissa'
