GCSE Maths Practice: coordinates

Question 4 of 10

Identify the x-coordinate from a coordinate pair.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{What is the x-coordinate of the point } (4,7)\text{?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Look at the first number in the pair for x-coordinate.

Coordinates are written as (x,y), where x represents horizontal position and y vertical. For example, in (4,7), x = 4. Knowing how to read coordinates is essential for plotting points, solving geometric problems, and working with graphs. Practice identifying x and y values from various points to reinforce understanding. Correctly identifying coordinates is crucial for transformations, distance calculations, and symmetry problems.
