Question

Which of the following ordered pairs is represented by a point located on the x-axis?

Select one:
a.(6,-6)
b. (3,3)
c. (0,8)
d. (-5,0)

Answer 1

(D) (-5,0)

Explanation:

Answer 2

d (-5,0)

Explanation:

x-coordinate moves a point left or right from the origin.

y-coordinate moves a point down or up form the origin.

So we don't want any down or up, so we want y to be 0.

If a point is located on the x-axis, then the y-coordinate is 0.

d is the only point that sits on the x-axis. I know this because it's y-coordinate is 0.

(0,8) is actually a point sitting on the y-axis.
