Question

Hunter is going to graph the ordered pairs that are represented by this table on a coordinate plane.

x
–7
–3
0
1
5
9
y
4
0
2
6
0
–2








In Hunter’s graph, how many points should lie on the y-axis?
0
1
2
3
quadrant IV

Answer 1

1.

Explanation:

When x is 0, the point will lie on the x-axis, so we need to find how many times this happens.

There's only 1 0, so the answer is 1.

Answer 2

1

Explanation:

A point lies on the y-axis when it has a coordinate like (0, y), that is, when its x-coordinate is equal to zero. From the table, we know that there is only one point which satisfies this characteristic, point (0, 2).
