Question

A point with an ordinate of 0 belongs to the graph of the equation 12x–15y=132. Find the abscissa of that point.

Answer 1

Abscissa=11

Explanation:

An ordered pair consists of two terms—the abscissa (horizontal, usually x) and the ordinate (vertical, usually y)—which define the location of a point in two-dimensional rectangular space.

We are given a equation 12x-15y=132

y=0 we have to find x

Putting y=0, we get

12x=132

⇒ x=132/12

=11

Hence, abscissa=11

Answer 2

we know that
the ordinate is the y coordinate and the abscissa is the x coordinate

we have that
12x–15y=132
for y=0
x=?
12x-15*0=132------> 12x=132--------> x=11

the point is (11,0)

the answer is
x=11
