Question

How are the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate in an ordered pair related to the origin?

Answer 1

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attached graph involving the coordinate plane and the origin or O(0, 0).

From the attached diagram, it is clear that the coordinate plane contains:

• horizontal axis called the x-axis, and

• vertical axis called the y-axis.

We also know that the point of intersection of these two axes is called the origin or O(0, 0).

Please check the Origin point O(0, 0).

Here,

• The first value of the ordered pair of the origin is called the x-coordinate.

• The second value of the ordered pair of the origin is called the y-coordinate.

Thus, is clear that:

• The x-coordinate of O(0, 0) is 0.

• The y-coordinate of O(0, 0) is 0.
