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.
The y-coordinate is a number that describes the vertical position of a point in terms of distance and direction along the y-axis. It is the second number in both an ordered pair (x, y) and ordered triple (x, y, z) in a 2D rectangular coordinate plane (shown below) and a 3D coordinate plane, respectively.
The y-coordinate of a point is its perpendicular distance from the x-axis measured along the y-axis. The coordinates are written as an ordered pair of numbers P(x, y), where P is the name of the point, x refers to the horizontal position and y refers to the vertical position.
The y-coordinate is the second value in an ordered pair (x, y) that describes the location of a point on a coordinate plane. The y-coordinate determines the vertical position of a point and is measured from the x-axis, with positive values above the axis and negative values below.
In mathematics, coordinates are a set of numbers that specify the position of a point in a coordinate system. A number line is a 1D (one dimensional) coordinate system. A real number that matches the location of a point along a number line is called a coordinate of the point.
To define the position of a point on a 2D plane, we use two numbers, called the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate. The x-coordinate tells where the point is in the left-right direction, and the y-coordinate tells where it is in the vertical, up-down direction.
