1963 TMTA High School Algebra I Contest Problem 22

Problem

On the graph chart which point has zero for its ordinate?

$\text{(A)} \quad A \quad \text{(B)} \quad B \quad \text{(C)} \quad C \quad \text{(D)} \quad D \quad \text{(E)} \quad E$

Solution

The ordinate is another name for the $x$ axis, so we are looking on a point that is on the $x$ axis. The only point that satisfies this is $\boxed{\text{(A)}}.$
