Plot the point (4,5) on a graph sheet. Is it the same as the point (5,4)?

Answer»

ANSWER:

No, the x and y coordinates are switched.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the cartesian plane, we define points on a graph with coordinates (x,y).

In the image provided below you can see that DRAWING two lines:

x=4 , \: y =5, the intersection of these lines give coordinates (4,5).

HOWEVER if we are to draw two lines:

x=5, \: y =4, the intersection of these two lines would create a point (5,4).

We CLEARLY see in the image that these are not the same points, the x coordinates and the y coordinates are DIFFERENT and therefore the points are not the same
