To plot the point (5,0), we start at the origin (0,0) and move 5 units to the right along the x-axis. We do not need to move vertically as the y-coordinate is 0. So the point (5,0) is located on the x-axis, specifically at the point where x = 5.
To plot the point (0,5), we start at the origin (0,0) and move 5 units upward along the y-axis. We do not need to move horizontally as the x-coordinate is 0. So the point (0,5) is located on the y-axis, specifically at the point where y = 5.
Here is a visual representation of the points:
