Question

complete the sentence.
when graphing a point on the coordinate plane, the y-coordinate tells you ______.
how far right or left to travel from the origin
how far up or down to travel from the origin

Explanation:

In a coordinate plane, the \( x \)-coordinate (horizontal axis) determines horizontal movement (right/left from origin), while the \( y \)-coordinate (vertical axis) determines vertical movement (up/down from origin). So the \( y \)-coordinate tells how far up or down to travel from the origin.

Answer:

how far up or down to travel from the origin
