Cartesian Grid - Meaning of Given Coordinate (no indicator) (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on identifying the meaning of specific coordinates on a Cartesian grid. The problems involve determining whether a given number in a coordinate pair represents an x-value or a y-value, and whether it is positive or negative. The questions show coordinates on grids (depicted in images) and present multiple-choice answers for interpreting the values of specific coordinates, without indicators for x or y. This practice aims to enhance understanding of Cartesian grid fundamentals by interpreting and understanding the placement of points on a two-dimensional plane.
