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...

What is the difference of the y-values of two points on a line?

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.

What is the slope of the line between 2 5 and 4 17?

Slope = (difference in y coordinate) / (difference in x coordinate) = (17 - 5) / (4 - 2) = 12/2 = 6


What is a y coordinate?

A y coordinate is when you have a long line (y axis) and you coordinate (put numbers on that line) and you graph them


How do you find the vertical rise?

The rise, or vertical difference, between two points on the coordinate plane is the difference i their y-coordinates.


What is the difference between the abscissa and the ordinate in a graph?

The abscissa is the x or horizontal coordinate. The ordinate is the y or vertical coordinate. I remember them because they are both alphabetical.


What is the steepness of a line measured by the difference of y divided by the difference of x?

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.


What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (4 -1)?

The y coordinate is -1 and the x coordinate is 4


what is y-coordinate in rectangular coordinate system?

A point's y coordinate is its vertical position, or how high or low it is.


What is the y coordinate with the point given below?

To provide you with the y-coordinate, I would need to know the specific point you are referring to. Points are usually given in the format (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate. Please provide the point, and I'll help you identify the y-coordinate.


Is y coordinate always a negative number?

No, the y-coordinate can be positive or negative.


What is the x coordinate for all y-intercepts?

The x coordinate for all y intercepts is 0, just as the y coordinate for all x intercepts is 0.
