Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

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.
