Step by step
The question
Question: plot (5, 0).
(5, 0)
The first number is x.
It says left or right.
5 is positive, so we go right.
x = 5 → right 5
The second number is y.
It says up or down.
It is 0, so we stay on the x-axis.
y = 0 → stay
1 Start at 0
Draw the grid.
The x-axis goes across.
The y-axis goes up and down.
They meet at 0.
That point is called the origin.
Start at 0, where the axes meet.
2 Go right 5
x is 5.
From 0, go right 5.
y is 0, so we stay on the x-axis.
Put a dot here.
This is the point (5, 0).
3 Check
Let's check.
The dot is on the x-axis, at 5.
So (5, 0) is right!
Let's look back.
First: start at 0.
Then: go right 5.
Last: check.
Answer
(5, 0)
