A graph commonly consists of two axes called the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). Each axis corresponds to one variable. This variable represent something that a human can relate to for example the axes can be labelled with different names, such as velocity, time, height, temperature, price or quantity.
The place where the two axes intersect is called the origin. The origin is also identified as the point (0,0). Parts of a graph
- x-axis
- y-axis
- origin
A point on a graph represents a relationship. Each point is defined by a pair of numbers containing two co-ordinates (x and y). A co-ordinate is one of a set of numbers used to identify the location of a point on a graph. The co-ordinate is measured from the origin. First the x co-ordinate is given which states movement to the left and to the right. Second the y co-ordinate is given which states movement up and down.
does the point on the graph represent a relationship between the x and y axis or between that point and the origin??
ReplyDeletewel samos i tink it the point on the graph will represent a relationship between the x and y axis since a x and y co-ordinates is needed to obtain a point on the graph.am not to sure abt the second part of yuh question but i tink so caz wen u hav the x and y co-ordinates,in order to no where to plot it u must begin frm the origin and move along the axis rite...therefore there is sum kind of relationship goin on ....ne1 wilin 2giv a try...
ReplyDeletewell the question samos is asking is really based upon a specific point on a graph and the answer is that it represents a relationship between the x and y axis. however the origin is a very useful point on a graph as it is helpful in various calculations and topics such as vectors. hey but does anyone know other uses of the origin??????????
ReplyDeletei guest the origin can also start as a count point when plotting points but what else?
ReplyDeletewell the x-coordinate of a point is the value that tells you how far from the origin the point is on the horizontal, or x-axis. The y-coordinate of a point is the value that tells you how far from the origin the point is on the vertical, or y-axis.
ReplyDeleteA point is the basic relationship displayed on a graph. Each point is defined by a pair of numbers containing two coordinates. A coordinate is one of a set of numbers used to identify the location of a point on a graph. Each point is identified by both an x and a y coordinate.
ReplyDeleteThe y coordinate is dependent on the x coordinate to make a location on a graph which builds upon a relationship between the two...so they do have a connection taking place between the axes, x and y and as for the origin which is like a starter for a location on the graph
