Question

Which point lies on the y-axis, but not on the x-axis?
(0, –2)
(0, 0)
(1, 1)
(2, 0)
I'm not sure what this question is asking, can someone help?

Answer 1

it is asking what point is on the y axis

Answer 2

Can you help me figure it out?

Answer 3

so the point 0,0 would be found on both. 1,1 is not on an axis because it is floating. 2,0 lies on the x-axis. so that leaves 0,-2 is the last one and lies on y-axis

Answer 4

it is looking for what point is on that axis

Answer 5

So the answer would be 0,0? To me that made the most sense but I wasn't completely sure of it. :)

Answer 6

that pretty much explained it....look at her drawing and where she plotted the points. Now which one is not on the x axis ?

Answer 7

its no (0,0) because that lies on both axis

Answer 8

typo..NOT

Answer 9

y is the line going up and down
x is the line going from left to right

Answer 10

look at your points (0,-2) ....that is on the y axis (the up and down line), but not on the x axis (the left to right line).
