Question

which statement is true about the ordered pair (3, 6)?
a. to plot the ordered pair (3, 6), travel six units to the right on the x - axis and three units up on the y - axis, from the origin.
b. to plot the ordered pair (3, 6), travel three units to the right on the y - axis and six units up on the x - axis, from the origin.
c. to plot the ordered pair (3, 6), travel three units to the right on the x - axis and six units up on the y - axis, from the origin.
d. to plot the ordered pair (3, 6), travel six units to the right on the y - axis and three units up on the x - axis, from the origin.

Explanation:

An ordered pair $(x, y)$ follows the rule: the first value is the x-coordinate (movement along the x-axis, right for positive values), and the second value is the y-coordinate (movement along the y-axis, up for positive values). For $(3, 6)$, this means 3 units right on the x-axis, then 6 units up on the y-axis from the origin.

Answer:

C. To plot the ordered pair (3 , 6), travel three units to the right on the x-axis and six units up on the y-axis, from the origin.
