Example Question #1 : Geometry

What coordinate point is the yellow circle on? 


Screen shot 2015 07 29 at 3.26.44 pm

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle (8,14)\)

\(\displaystyle (13,5)\)

\(\displaystyle (19,6)\)

\(\displaystyle (14,8)\)

\(\displaystyle (6,19)\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle (6,19)\)

Explanation:

To find the location on a coordinate plane we first look at the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis, which runs horizontal and then the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis, which runs vertical. We write the point on the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis first, followed by the point on the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis. \(\displaystyle (x,y)\)

The yellow circle is over \(\displaystyle 6\) on the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis and up \(\displaystyle 19\) on the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis.
