The difference in the y-values of two points on a line is equal to the vertical distance between those points. This difference is also known as the "rise" or the "change in y." To calculate the difference in the y-values of two points (y₁, x₁) and (y₂, x₂) on a line, you simply subtract the y-coordinate of one point from the y-coordinate of the other: Difference in y-values = y₂ - y₁ This calculation gives you the vertical distance between the two points on the line.
For two points, take the y coordinate of the second one (in some arbitrary order) and subtract the y coordinate of the first one. Its possible they want the answer to be positive, so if its negative multiply by -1. A bit more context would help though...
A y coordinate is when you have a long line (y axis) and you coordinate (put numbers on that line) and you graph them
Slope = (difference in y coordinate) / (difference in x coordinate) = (17 - 5) / (4 - 2) = 12/2 = 6
The rise, or vertical difference, between two points on the coordinate plane is the difference i their y-coordinates.
The abscissa is the x or horizontal coordinate. The ordinate is the y or vertical coordinate. I remember them because they are both alphabetical.
The y coordinate is -1 and the x coordinate is 4
A point's y coordinate is its vertical position, or how high or low it is.
Its called the "slope" of the line, and I think its actually X over Y (X/Y). Where on a coordinate plane, you measure first horizontally and then vertically.
No, the y-coordinate can be positive or negative.
The x coordinate for all y intercepts is 0, just as the y coordinate for all x intercepts is 0.
