The flight path of a bird is illustrated in the image. A coordinate grid has been placed on the image to help
analyze and describe the flight path.
What should be the label for the x axis?
What should be the label for the y axis?

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
