Question

From the origin of the coordinate plane, how many units does one travel along the y-axis to find the point with the coordinates (1,8)?

Answer 1

Let's recall that in a coordinate plane, we consider (0, 0) as the origin because this is the point where the x and y-axes intersect.

Therefore, the unit you travel along the y-axis from the origin is:

8 - 0 = 8 (Value of y given - Value of y at the origin)

The answer is 8 units
