A seagull has a vertical position a, and a shark has a vertical position b. Draw and label a point on the vertical axis to show the vertical position of each new animal

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to represent the position of two animals in a the cartesian coordinates plane. This is two perpendicular axis, the y-axis is the vertical one and the x-axis is the horizontal one. The animals are represented by dots, called a for the seagull and b for the shark.

Since the y-axis is the vertical axis and they ask to draw the points with a verical difference between them, we will draw the points in it.

Say the x-axis represents the sea surfice. The seagull would be over the sea, and the shark under the sea surfice (under x-axis).

This is the resulting drawing
