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

This math topic focuses on understanding the Cartesian coordinate system, specifically interpreting the meaning of the y-coordinate in various point coordinates without explicit directional indicators. The problems require students to identify and differentiate whether a given value from a point's coordinate on a Cartesian grid represents a position on the x-axis or y-axis, and whether that value is positive or negative. Each question presents a point coordinate and asks what a specific value in this coordinate represents, offering multiple-choice answers about the possible x or y values. These problems are integral to the "Cartesian Grid Foundations" unit.
