Question

Write the $x-$coordinate (abscissa) of each of the given points. (a) $(7,3)$ (b) $(5,7)$ (c) $(0,5)$

Answer 1

Determine the $x-$coordinate (abscissa) of each of the given points.

In an ordered pair $(x,y)$, $y$ is the ordinate and $x$ is known as the abscissa.

The abscissa for the given points are:

For the point $(7,3)$ compare the value with $(x,y)$, so the $x$ coordinate is $7$.

For the point $(5,7)$ compare the value with the $(x,y)$,so the $x$ coordinate is $5$.

For the point $(0,5)$ compare the value with the $(x,y)$,so the $x$ coordinate is $0$.

Hence,

(a).The $x-$coordinate of $\left(7,3\right)$ is$7$.

(b). The $x-$coordinate of $(5,7)$ is $5$.

(c).The $x-$coordinate of $(0,5)$ is $0$.
