Did You Know?
The y-axis helps us draw graphs!
How It Works
The y-axis shows height on a grid.
Finding Points
We use the y-axis to find points up high or down low.
What y-axis Does
The y-axis goes up and down.
It helps us find points on a grid.
It shows how high or low things are.
It works with the x-axis.
We use it in math and art.
The y-axis helps us draw graphs.
More About y-axis
The y-axis is part of a grid. It helps us see where things are. When we draw, we can use it to show height. It is important for math and art.
We see the y-axis in many places. It helps us make charts and graphs. It shows how tall a building is or how high a bird flies. It is useful in school and at home.
In the future, we will keep using the y-axis. It will help us learn more about math. We can use it to make cool art too!

What Do These Words Mean?
Cartesian coordinate system:A way to find points on a flat surface using two numbers.
coordinates:Numbers that show the position of a point.
perpendicular:Lines that meet at a right angle (90 degrees).
origin:The starting point where the axes cross, marked as (0, 0).
orthogonal basis:A set of lines that are at right angles to each other.
