Question

plot the ordered pair (5,1). state in which quadrant or on which axis the point lies. plot the ordered pair on the graph to the right.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand ordered - pair

In an ordered pair $(x,y)$, $x = 5$ and $y=1$.

Step2: Locate x - coordinate

Start at the origin $(0,0)$. Move 5 units to the right along the x - axis since $x = 5$.

Step3: Locate y - coordinate

From the point on the x - axis (at $x = 5$), move 1 unit up along the y - axis since $y = 1$ and mark the point.

Step4: Determine quadrant

In the coordinate plane, points with positive x and positive y values lie in the first quadrant. Since $x=5>0$ and $y = 1>0$, the point $(5,1)$ is in the first quadrant.

Answer:

The point $(5,1)$ is plotted by moving 5 units right along the x - axis and 1 unit up along the y - axis from the origin, and it lies in the first quadrant.
