Question

Which of the following represents "The ordinate is twice the abscissa"?

xy = 2
2x = y
2y = x

Answer 1

Answer: Hello there!

In regular notation, the abscissas are on the X-axis and the ordinates are on the Y-axis.

Now, if we have "the ordinate is twice the abscissa"

This means that y is equal to two times the value of x

this is: 2x = y

then the right option is the second one

Answer 2

Option B is correct

y =2x

Explanation:

Abscissa means the horizontal value i.,e x in coordinate plane

It is also known as x-coordinate

Ordinate means the vertical value i.e y in the coordinate plane

It is also known as y-coordinate

As per the statement:

"The ordinate is twice the abscissa"

"twice the abscissa" translated to 2x

then;

the given statement becomes:

`y =2x`

Therefore, the following represents "The ordinate is twice the abscissa" is:

`2x=y`
