Detailed Answers to Additional Practice:
Points on a Graph

  1. Which point is (0, 6)?

    If you look at the figure above, the R coordinate lies on the y-axis.

    • R is on the y-axis. This means that the x-coordinate must be zero.
    • If you count how far the point lies along the y-axis from the origin, you will find the y-coordinate is 6.
  2. What is the y-coordinate of point S?
    Point S lies on the x-axis. This means that the y-coordinate must be zero.
  3. What are the coordinates of point T?

    To find the coordinates for point T:

    • The line drawn from point T down to the x-axis intersects the x-axis at 1.
    • The line drawn from point T to the y-axis intersects the y-axis at 5.

    Therefore, the (x, y) coordinates for point T are (1, 5).
