Question

Name the graph of the ordered pair $\mathbf{(}\mathbf{0}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}\mathbf{)}$?

Short answer

The coordinates $\mathbf{(}\mathbf{0}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}\mathbf{)}$have the point name$\mathit{Z}$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Observe the figure

From the figure, it can be observed that it is the $x\text{-}y$plane with several coordinates $J,K,M,N,O,P,Q,$and so on are marked on it.

Step 2. Define the coordinate of a point.

The Coordinate$\left(x,y\right)$ of a point is an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the $x$-axis called an $x$-coordinate, and a number on the $y$-axis called a $y$-coordinate.

Step 3. Name the coordinate (0,-2).

The given coordinate is (0, -2).

This means that the value of$x$is 0 and the value of$y$is -2.

$\begin{array}{l}x=0\\ y=-2\end{array}$

Steps to plot the coordinates are:

• Do not move in$x$axis as the value of$x$is 0.
• Then move in negative$y$direction by 2 units as the value of$y$is -2.

The destination point on the graph is the point $Z$.

Therefore, the point name is $Z$.
