Question

The distance of any point from the $y-\mathrm{axis}$ is the __________ coordinate.

Answer 1

Determine the coordinate. .

• The distance of a point from the $y-axis$ is called its $\underline{x-\mathrm{coordinate}}$, or abscissa, and the distance of the point from the$x-axis$ is called its $\underline{x-\mathrm{coordinate}}$, or ordinate.

Hence, the distance of any point from the $y-axis$ is the $\underline{x-\mathrm{coordinate}}$.
