point A is 5 units to the right of the origin and up 1 unit
The x-coordinates of point A is 5
the y-coordinates of point A is 5
point A is on the y-axis.
Point A is on the x-axis.

1 answer

Let's evaluate the statements based on point A (5,0) on a coordinate plane:

  1. Point A is 5 units to the right of the origin and up 1 unit.

    • False. Point A is 5 units to the right of the origin (0,0) but is not up at all because the y-coordinate is 0.
  2. The x-coordinate of point A is 5.

    • True. The x-coordinate of point A (5,0) is indeed 5.
  3. The y-coordinate of point A is 5.

    • False. The y-coordinate of point A (5,0) is 0, not 5.
  4. Point A is on the y-axis.

    • False. Point A is not on the y-axis because its x-coordinate is not 0.
  5. Point A is on the x-axis.

    • True. Point A is on the x-axis because its y-coordinate is 0.

Based on this evaluation, the true statements are:

  • The x-coordinate of point A is 5.
  • Point A is on the x-axis.
