If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.

Where on the coordinate plane would point (0-5) Lie?

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)

Why are the x and y axes called what they are?

The ordinate is the y coordinate of a point and the abscissa is the x coordinate of a point and both axes intercept each other at the point of origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane.


What is the x coordinate of the point given below?

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.


Can the abscissa and ordinate of the origin have different values in a graph?

The horizontal x and vertical y axes on the Cartesian plane are perpendicular to each other and they intersect at the point of origin whose coordinate is always at (0, 0)


The point 0-3 would lie on which axis?

The point (0, -3) lies on the y-axis. In a Cartesian coordinate system, the first value represents the x-coordinate and the second value represents the y-coordinate. Since the x-coordinate is 0, the point is located directly on the y-axis at the position -3.

Believe it or not, there are lots of such points.


Does every point lie in a quadrant and why?

No because some points can lie in the y & x-axises. Also no because 0y and 0x don't lie in any quadrant because 0 is the origin.
