Worked solution

Solution: Graph

Explanation:

The graph defines the relationship between the two variables, where one is the dependent variable and the other one is the independent variable.

Q13Written answer

We need __________ coordinates to represent a point on the graph sheet.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: two (a pair)

Explanation:

To represent the point on the graph, we need a pair of coordinates, where one represents the x coordinate and the other represents the y coordinate.

Q14Written answer

A point in which the x-coordinate is zero and the y-coordinate is nonzero will lie on the _________

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: y-axis

Explanation:

The point lies on the y-axis when the x-coordinate is zero.

Q15Written answer

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Plotting

Explanation:

The process of fixing the point using the coordinates is known as the plotting of points on a graph.

Q17Written answer

The distance of any point from the y-axis is the __________ coordinate.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: x coordinate

Explanation:

The distance of any point from the x-axis is called the y-coordinate, and the distance of any point from the y-axis is called the x-coordinate.

Q18Written answer

All points with y-coordinate as zero lies on the __________.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: x-axis

Explanation:

When all the points on the y coordinate are zero, then absolutely all the points lie on the x-axis.

Q19Written answer

For point (5, 2), the distance from the x-axis is __________ units.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: 2 units.

Explanation:

We know that the y-coordinate represents the distance from the x-axis. So the answer is 2 units.

Q20Written answer

The x-coordinate of any point lying on the y-axis will be __________.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: zero (0)

Explanation:

When the x-coordinate lies on the y-axis, then the x-coordinate of any point on the y-axis should be zero.
