Math question on homework.

Question

If x > 0 and y = 0, where is the point (x, y) located?

Answer 1

Firstly, draw the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) and name them.

The point of intersection is the ordered pair O(0,0)

Towards the right of x- axis, we have positive values of x, note them 1,2,3,4,5.......

Towards the left of x- axis, we have negative values of x, note them -1, -2, -3, -4, -5.......

Towards the up of x- axis, we have positive values of y, note them 1,2,3,4,5.......

Towards the down of y- axis, we have negative values of y, note them -1, -2, -3, -4, -5.......

Now, coming to the question, x > 0 and y = 0

x>0 means 1,2,3,4,5....... and y = 0

(1,0), (2,0), (3,0) , (4,0),......... If you point them on graph, you will get it on the positive side of x-axis (right)

ANSWER: On the positive side of x-axis.

Draw the graph and you will get to know answers of other questions too. Practice as much as possible similar questions to get it easy.

Answer 2

It is located on the positive x-axis, since its coordinates are (x,0) with x positive.
