Which statement best describes ordered pairs on a coordinate plane? A) Either the x or y value may be written first in an ordered pair, depending on which value is the greatest. B) The y-coordinate is located by moving horizontally, while the x-coordinate is located by moving vertically. C) The x-coordinate tells how far to travel left or right of the origin, and the y-coordinate tells how far to travel above or below the origin. D) An ordered pair tells how far to go diagonally within a plane, with the first coordinate plotted diagonally from the origin in the first quadrant.

C) The x-coordinate tells how far to travel left or right of the origin, and the y-coordinate tells how far to travel above or below the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate tells how far to travel left (in this case the values of the x-coordinate are negative in value) or right (in this case the values of the x-coordinate are positive in value) of the origin

Similarly, the y-coordinate tells how far to travel above(positive y-axis with positive values) or below(negative y-axis with negative values) the origin.

The x-coordinate tells how far to travel left or right of the origin, and the y-coordinate tells how far to travel above or below the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

A coordinate place consists of horizontal and vertical axis. The horizontal axis is known as the x - axis and lies along the horizontal while the vertical axis is the y axis which lies along the vertical and perpendicular to the x-axis.

Both axis acts in the positive and negative direction.

The positive x axis of the plane acts towards the right while the negative x axis acts towards the left.

The positive y axis acts upward while the negative y acts downward.

The point where both x and y axis intersect is known ad the origin

This coordinate plane is useful in locating the magnitude and direction of an object acting in space.

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c
