It is known as the abscissa. In 2-dimensional space it is usually the distance from the origin towards the right of the plane. In 3-d space it is usually the distance towards (and often slightly to the left of) the viewer.

The x-coordinate of a point?

In an ordered pair like (2, 5), the first number is the x-coordinate. It is the horizontal distance to the right from the Origin to that point.


The x value in a coordinate pair?

The x value is the first of a coordinate pair and tells you how far from the y axis the point is.


What quadrant is the point (3 5) located?

The point (3, 5) is located in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate system. This is because both the x-coordinate (3) and the y-coordinate (5) are positive, which places the point in the upper right section of the graph.


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.


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.


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.


When the first number in an orderd pair is 0 wher is the point located?

When the first number in an ordered pair is 0, the point is located on the y-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. This is because the x-coordinate is 0, indicating that the point is directly vertical from the origin (0,0). The y-coordinate determines the specific position along the y-axis.

Which correctly gives the location of the point (7 -13) quadrant 1?

The point (7, -13) is located in the fourth quadrant, not the first. In the first quadrant, both the x-coordinate and y-coordinate must be positive. Since the y-coordinate is negative (-13), this point falls below the x-axis, placing it in the fourth quadrant where x is positive and y is negative.


What is the definition of coordinate pair?

a coordinate pair is a pair of fractions that show u how to draw with purple dinousors by ur side (fyi this is wrong lol ). * * * * * Why bother with that answer? A coordinate pair is a way of describing the position of a point in 2-dimensional space, devised by Rene Descartes. You select any point on the plane and call it the origin and its coordinate reference is (0,0). The position of any other point in the plane can be identified by how far to the right (the first of the coordinate pair), and how far up (the second) it is. In basic terms, that is it. For points to the left of the origin, the first coordinate is negative. For points to that are lower down, the second coordinate is negative.


What quadrant is a point that has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in?

The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
