Question

when the first number in an ordered pair is 0, and the second number is any other integer, where on the coordinate plane is the point located?
a x - axis
b origin
c y - axis
d the point cannot be graphed

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an ordered pair \((x, y)\), the first number is the \(x\)-coordinate and the second is the \(y\)-coordinate. If \(x = 0\) and \(y\) is any integer, the point lies on the \(y\)-axis (since all points on the \(y\)-axis have \(x = 0\)). The origin is \((0, 0)\), the \(x\)-axis has \(y = 0\), and the point can be graphed. So the correct option is C.

Answer:

C. y - axis
