Meaning of Y Coordinate (indicator) (Level 2)

This math topic involves practicing the interpretation of y-coordinates on a Cartesian grid. The problems present various points with coordinates, and quiz questions then ask what specific values in these points' coordinates signify with respect to their y-values. The questions include both positive and negative values and require students to identify what these values represent, enhancing their understanding of coordinates and their placement on a Cartesian grid.
