y-axis

In an ordered pair, the y-coordinate tells you how far to move from the origin parallel to the y-axis.

When plotting a point on a graph, the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position. Moving parallel to the y-axis means you are moving up or down from the horizontal x-axis line. If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to ask!

The correct answer is y-axis.

In an ordered pair (x, y), the y-coordinate indicates how far to move from the origin (0, 0) along the y-axis. If the y-coordinate is positive, you move up; if it’s negative, you move down. This helps locate points on a coordinate plane. For more in-depth explanations or assistance, feel free to check our extended services page!
