Kwame says that the ordered pair(5,0) is on the y-axis. So you agree? Justify your answer.

A point is shown by a x-coordinate and y-coordinate (x, y). Kwame has the point (5, 0), so you will move the point 5 units to right. You will find that this coordinate with lie on the x-axis not the y-axis. So, I don't agree with Kwame. A graph will be shown below with the point (5, 0) labeled.

Answer:

No, the answer would be on the x-axis. This is because x=5 and y=0, which would mean that the ordered pair (5,0) would be on the x-axis.

Hope this helps!
