Question

which statement is true about the ordered pair (1, 7)?
a. to plot the ordered pair (1, 7), travel one unit to the right on the x - axis and seven units up on the y - axis, from the origin.
b. to plot the ordered pair (1, 7), travel one unit to the right on the y - axis and seven units up on the x - axis, from the origin.
c. to plot the ordered pair (1, 7), travel seven units to the right on the x - axis and one unit up on the y - axis, from the origin.
d. to plot the ordered pair (1, 7), travel seven unit to the right on the y - axis and one units up on the x - axis, from the origin.

Explanation:

An ordered pair \((x, y)\) uses the first value for the x-axis (horizontal, right/left from origin) and the second for the y-axis (vertical, up/down from origin). For \((1, 7)\), the x-value is 1 (1 unit right) and y-value is 7 (7 units up).

Answer:

A. To plot the ordered pair (1 , 7), travel one unit to the right on the x-axis and seven units up on the y-axis, from the origin.
