lines<\/a> creating the two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The point where the two axes meet is called the origin (0,0). Together, the x-axis and y-axis allow you to locate points in two-dimensional space by specifying their x-coordinate (horizontal position) and y-coordinate (vertical position).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>X-axis: <\/strong>The X-axis is the horizontal line in the Cartesian coordinate system. It runs from left to right, and it is used to represent the horizontal position of points. The X-axis is labeled with numbers that increase as you move to the right and decrease as you move to the left.<br><br>The equation of the X-axis is given by y = 0 since the y-coordinate of any point on the X-axis is always 0.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Y-axis: <\/strong>The Y-axis is the vertical line in the Cartesian coordinate system. It runs from bottom to top, and it represents the vertical position of points. The y-axis is labeled with numbers that increase as you move upward and decrease as you move downward.<br><br>The equation of the Y-axis is x = 0 since the x-coordinate of any point on the Y-axis is always 0.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-definition-of-y-coordinate\">Definition of y-Coordinate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The y-coordinate is a value that represents a point\u2019s vertical position on a graph. The y-coordinate of a point is the second element in the ordered pair (x, y).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-what-does-the-y-coordinate-of-a-point-tell-you\">What Does the y-Coordinate of a Point Tell You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The y-coordinate is a value that represents the vertical position of a point in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. It specifies the distance of a point from the horizontal axis, known as the x-axis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The y-coordinate indicates the vertical location of a point along the y-axis. If the y-coordinate is positive, the point is above the x-axis; if it&#8217;s negative, the point is below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The x-coordinate, in contrast, is a horizontal coordinate that allows you to see where you are on the graph.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> In the given graph, the point (4, 2) is plotted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The x-coordinate is 4. The y-coordinate is 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice that the point (4, 2) is exactly 4 units right with respect to the origin. Thus, the x-coordinate is 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is 2 units up from the origin, since the y-coordinate is 2.
