y2

The y2 attribute is used to specify the second y-coordinate for drawing an SVG element that requires more than one coordinate. Elements that only need one coordinate use the y attribute instead.

Elements

You can use this attribute with the SVG elements described in the sections below.

`<line>`

For <line>, y2 defines the y coordinate of the ending point of the line.

Value	<length> \| <percentage> \| <number>
Default value	`0`

  <line x1="1" x2="9" y1="5" y2="5" stroke="green" />
  <line x1="1" x2="9" y1="5" y2="9" stroke="blue" />
