Abscissa of all the points on the x-axis is
(A) 0
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) any number
Answer: D) Any number
The abscissa, the x coordinate of a point, is its distance from the y-axis when scaled with x-axis. The ordinate is indeed the distance between a point and the x-axis when scaled with y-axis.
If (x, y) is indeed an ordered set, then y is the ordinate in this case. An ordered pair is being used to represent a location in the Cartesian plane, and also the abscissa is the initial coordinate (x) inside the plane. The abscissa or x value of a point is its distance from the y-axis scaled with x-axis.
Any integer can be used as the abscissa for all locations on the x-axis.
The abscissa & ordinates are two terms that are used to express a point’s location on a graph. The abscissa is the coordinates of the X-axis on the cartesian plane. It is also the distance measured from the Y-axis to the point.
The abscissa and x coordinate of a point is its distance from the y-axis scaled with x-axis.
The ordinate is the distance between a point and the x-axis when scaled with the y-axis.
