Question

Is the point (0, 8) on the x-axis or y-axis? How do you know?

Answer 1

Answer:

y axis.  We never moved off the origin  in the x direction, so we are on the y axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x value is 0.  This means starting at the origin and moving to the right zero units.  Now we move up 8 units.  We are moving up 8 units.   We are on the y axis.

Answer 2

Answer:

it is on the y-axis because the eight is in the 2nd part of the ordered pair (0,8).
