Question

The coordinate plane below shows the locations of three buildings and the school in a townWhat is the y coordinate of the ordered pairs that identifies the location. of the school

Answer 1

To determine the y-coordinate of a point on the coordinate grid you have to draw a horizontal line from the point to the y-axis. The point where the line intercepts the y-axis will be the y-coordinate of the point on the coordinate grid:

I've drawn a yellow line from the point marked as "School" to the y-axis, the line intersects the y-axis at "-3", which means that the y-coordinate of the ordered pair that identifies the location of the school is y=-3
