Question

A coordinate plane. Use the coordinate plane to plot the points (6, 0) and (0, 5). Which statement is true? (0, 5) is located on the x-axis. (0, 5) is located at the origin. (6, 0) is located on the x-axis. (6, 0) is located at the origin.

Answer 1

x-axis

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is (6, 0) is located on the x-axis.

Explanation:

Given that we plot (6, 0) and (0, 5) on the xy–plane. We know that in (6, 0) 6 is the x-coordinate and 0 is the y-coordinate while in (0, 5) 0 is the x-coordinate and 5 is the y-coordinate.

Therefore, (6, 0) can be found on the x–axis not on the origin because it has shifted from 0 to 6 and (0, 5) can be found on the y-axis not on the origin because it has shifted from 0 to 5.

Hence, the correct option is (6, 0) is located on the x-axis.
