Question

plot the ordered pair (5,4). state in which quadrant or on which axis the point lies. plot the ordered pair on the graph to the right.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the ordered pair

An ordered pair \((x,y)\) has \(x = 5\) (horizontal coordinate) and \(y = 4\) (vertical coordinate).

Step2: Locate the \(x\) - coordinate

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

Step3: Locate the \(y\) - coordinate

From the point at \(x = 5\) on the \(x\) - axis, move \(4\) units up along the \(y\) - direction.

Answer:

The point \((5,4)\) lies in the first quadrant (where \(x>0\) and \(y > 0\)).
