Answer 1

To find the missing y-coordinate that makes the two triangles congruent, we need to find the y-coordinate of point O in Triangle MNO.

By comparing corresponding points in the two triangles, we can see that point A corresponds to point M, point B corresponds to point N, and point C corresponds to point O.

Since the y-coordinate of point C in Triangle ABC is 0, the y-coordinate of point O in Triangle MNO must also be 0 to make the two triangles congruent.

Therefore, the missing y-coordinate is 0.
