Of course. If you have a function that climbs very steeply and you want to show its shape, you can number the Y axis in increments of 1000 and the X in increments of 1. This will, of course, make the curve appear 1000 times flatter visually.
Also, the two axes may not necessarily even measure the same thing. On any newspaper financial page, you will find a graph with the X axis numbered to represent time and the Y to represent a stock index price.

What is the name given to the point where the x and y axes meet?
The X and Y axes meet at the origin.
If a piece of paper is a plane in the X and Y axes and the Z axis is a pencil that stabbed straight down through the paper at the point where the X and Y axes meet then the coordinates of the center?
The X and Y axes meet at 0,0. X,Y, Z intersect at 0,0,0.
What are the quadrants on the cooridinate plane?
They are the four parts of the plane formed by the axes, They are numbered anti-clockwise from North East so that North East = I: x > 0, y > 0 North West = II: x < 0, y > 0 South West = III: x < 0, y < 0 South East = IV: x > 0, y < 0 Points with x = 0 or y = 0 lie on an axis (or axes) and do not belong to any single quadrant.
Which is the x axes and y axes on a bar chart?
X axis goes across (horizontal) Y axis is up and down (vertical)
Intersection of x and y axes?
Origin.
What on the x axes ant What is on the y axes?
The x is on the top left and y is on the bottom.
What is the name given to the point where the x and y axes meet?
The X and Y axes meet at the origin.
Where are the x and y axes on a graph?
Y | | | x______________
If a piece of paper is a plane in the X and Y axes and the Z axis is a pencil that stabbed straight down through the paper at the point where the X and Y axes meet then the coordinates of the center?
The X and Y axes meet at 0,0. X,Y, Z intersect at 0,0,0.
What is the singular form of axes usually the x and y?
It is the x axis and the y axis and both axes are found on the Cartesian plane
What are the 2 axes that makes up a graph?
X and Y axes.
What are the quadrants on the cooridinate plane?
They are the four parts of the plane formed by the axes, They are numbered anti-clockwise from North East so that North East = I: x > 0, y > 0 North West = II: x < 0, y > 0 South West = III: x < 0, y < 0 South East = IV: x > 0, y < 0 Points with x = 0 or y = 0 lie on an axis (or axes) and do not belong to any single quadrant.
Which is the x axes and y axes on a bar chart?
X axis goes across (horizontal) Y axis is up and down (vertical)
In which quadrant would an ordered pair that has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate be plotted?
The quadrants formed by the x and y axes are numbered anticlockwise from the quadrant in which both coordinates are positive (which is quadrant I). Thus negative x and positive y is in the quadrant II.
What is the x axes on a ine graph?
the x axes is the bold line that goes horizontally the one that goes vertically is the y axes!
Does X axes go before Y axes?
When you write the coordinates in a pair, the X coordinate goes before the Y coordinate. For example, (2, 5) is x=2, y=5.
Intersection of x and y axes?
Origin.
