Which point lies on the x-axis on a coordinate grid?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which of the given points lies on the x-axis of a coordinate grid. Points on the x-axis have a y-coordinate of 0.
Answer
The point on the x-axis is $(9, 0)$.
Answer for screen readers
The point that lies on the x-axis is $(9, 0)$.
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the condition for the x-axis Points on the x-axis have a y-coordinate of $0$.
-
Examine each point for the y-coordinate We need to check each option to see if the y-coordinate equals $0$.
- Point $(9, 1)$: Here, $y = 1$, which is not $0$.
- Point $(1, 9)$: Here, $y = 9$, which is not $0$.
- Point $(9, 0)$: Here, $y = 0$, which is $0$.
- Point $(0, 9)$: Here, $y = 9$, which is not $0$.
- Determine the valid point Only the point $(9, 0)$ has a y-coordinate of $0$, so this point lies on the x-axis.
The point that lies on the x-axis is $(9, 0)$.
More Information
The x-axis is a horizontal line in the Cartesian coordinate system where all points have their y-coordinate equal to zero.
Tips
- Confusing the x-coordinate and y-coordinate can lead to selecting the wrong point.
- Not remembering that only points with a y-coordinate of $0$ lie on the x-axis.
