Cartesian Grid - Meaning of Given Coordinate (no indicator) (Level 3)

This math topic focuses on interpreting the meaning of coordinates on a Cartesian grid without any indicators suggesting whether the coordinates represent x or y values. It examines the understanding of positive and negative values within coordinates and their positions on the grid. Each problem provides a visual representation of a point on the Cartesian plane and asks to determine what a particular value in the point's coordinate signifies, whether it is part of the x-coordinate or y-coordinate and if it is positive or negative.
