Jermaine graphs a point on the y-axis. which of these must be the true about the ordered pair for the point?

a. the x-coordinate is 0.
b. the y-coordinate is 0.
c. the x-coordinate is negative.
d. the y-coordinate is negative.

A. The x coordinate is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the point is graphed on the y-axis we can assume it has to be some value of y and x = 0 or  (0,y) where no matter what the y is, the x value has to be 0 in order for the point to be on the y-axis.

why B is wrong:

y coordinate that is 0 could still have an x value that is greater than or less than 0 which wouldn't be on the y-axis

why C is wrong:

the x coordinate cannot be negative as any negative x value pulls the point away from the y-axis

why D is wrong:

the y coordinate can be negative but if an x value is selected anywhere else it can pull away the point from the y-axis
