Meaning of Y Coordinate (indicator) (Level 4)

This math topic focuses on understanding the meaning of coordinates on a Cartesian grid, specifically the y-coordinates and their indication of location along the y-axis. The questions provide coordinates of various points and ask learners to identify the relevance of number values concerning the y-coordinate. Each problem gives multiple-choice answers to determine where, on the Cartesian grid, a particular value places the point either on the x or y-axis, enhancing learners' grasp of interpreting points in a two-dimensional space.
