Which of the following is not true? The origin is at the point zero comma zero. The y-coordinate determines the vertical distance from the origin. A coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants. An origin pair shows the horizontal and vertical distance of a point from the origin.

OpenStudy (yellowlegoguy99):

@Jack1 Do you know the answer? I'll give you a medal

OpenStudy (jack1):

ooo... shiny ;D

OpenStudy (jack1):

so list em off dude a: origin is - the meeting point of the x and y axis - at the point (0,0) so a it true

OpenStudy (yellowlegoguy99):

Its says which is NOT true so are you sure A isnt true?

OpenStudy (jack1):

|dw:1380541471160:dw|

OpenStudy (jack1):

|dw:1380541555448:dw| b: The y-coordinate determines the vertical distance from the origin. the above squared section is the vertical distance, as is the negative y continued below, so b is true

OpenStudy (yellowlegoguy99):

Oh

OpenStudy (yellowlegoguy99):

|dw:1380541754926:dw|

OpenStudy (yellowlegoguy99):

And I know that there are 4 quadrants in a coordinate plane so C has to be true

OpenStudy (jack1):

c: A coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants. |dw:1380541747356:dw| a co-ordinate CAN be divided into 4 quadrants... but that's just for our use, it doesn't have to be same as how (a) the origin is a the point (0,0) ...well YES, in a 2 dimensional plane, it is but it's at the point (0) on a number line (one dimensional plane) and the point (0,0,0) in a 3 dimensional plane

OpenStudy (jack1):

i think the MOST correct answer they're looking for though is d) An origin pair shows the horizontal and vertical distance of a point from the origin. this is false

OpenStudy (jack1):

a CO-ORDINATE pair shows the distance, not an origin pair

OpenStudy (yellowlegoguy99):

Thanks :}

OpenStudy (jack1):

another name for it is (ordered pair) but never origin pair (unless it is the point 0,0)

OpenStudy (jack1):

all good dude

OpenStudy (yellowlegoguy99):

I'll give you anothr medal if you answer another question, let me close this and ask another one

OpenStudy (jack1):

sure dude Im a wh 0re for medals... ;D
