How is graphing five, 0 different from graphing 0, 5 use the drop-down menu to explain for five, zero you move 5 units along the A x-axis B y axis 40, 5 you move 5 units along the X axis B y axis

1 answer

To understand the difference between graphing the points (5, 0) and (0, 5), we can refer to the coordinate system:

  1. Graphing (5, 0):

    • You move 5 units along the X-axis (horizontal)
    • You do not move at all along the Y-axis (vertical), as the Y-coordinate is 0.
    • Therefore, the point (5, 0) is located on the X-axis at 5.
  2. Graphing (0, 5):

    • You do not move at all along the X-axis, as the X-coordinate is 0.
    • You move 5 units along the Y-axis (vertical).
    • So, the point (0, 5) is located on the Y-axis at 5.

In summary:

  • For (5, 0), you move 5 units along the X-axis.
  • For (0, 5), you move 5 units along the Y-axis.
