To determine how many points lie on the y-axis, we need to look for the ordered pairs where \( x = 0 \) since the y-axis is defined by all points where the x-coordinate is 0.
From the table of ordered pairs given:
\[
\begin{array}{c|c}
x & y \\
\hline
-7 & 4 \\
-3 & 0 \\
0 & 2 \\
1 & 6 \\
5 & 0 \\
9 & -2 \\
\end{array}
\]
We can see that there is only one ordered pair where \( x = 0 \), which is \( (0, 2) \).
Since there is only one point on the y-axis, the answer is **1**.
