Cartesian Grid - Meaning of Y Coordinate (no grid) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on understanding the significance of the y-coordinate in points on a Cartesian grid, without actually using a visible grid. Each problem presents a point's coordinate and asks what a specific value in the coordinate represents, determining whether the value corresponds to the y-coordinate being positive, negative, or equalling a certain number. This is crucial for developing foundational skills in understanding and navigating the Cartesian coordinate system, emphasizing the interpretation of the y-coordinate's role across various scenarios.
