Question

Write the $y-$coordinate (ordinate) of each of the given points. (a) $(3,5)$ (b) $(4,0)$ (c) $(2,7)$

Answer 1

Determine the $y-$coordinate (ordinate) of each of the given points.

The $y-$coordinate of a point is the second number in an ordered pair. It implies a distance along the y-axis or vertical axis of the coordinate system.

For point a)

$(3,5)$ compare the point with $(x,y)$ then $y-$coordinate is $“5”$.

For point b)

$(4,0)$ compare the point with $(x,y)$ then $y-$coordinate is $“0”$.

For point c)

$(2,7)$ compare the point with $(x,y)$ then $y-$coordinate is $“7”$.

Hence, the $y-$coordinate (ordinate) of each of the given points $(3,5)$, $(4,0)$, and $(2,7)$ is “$5,0,\text{and}7$”.
