a graph
The y axis is going up on the graph and the x axis is going sideways on the graph
Just label one axis x and the other axis y. Voila!! x y graph!
In the Cartesian Coordinate System (the x and y plane), the x and y axis intersect at the point (0,0) in the form (x,y). This is simply explained by looking at the horizontal x axis and lining the point up at 0 moves to the right of the y axis. The same goes for the y axis.
The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. 'y' is zero at every point on the x-axis. So to find where the line crosses the x-axis, make 'y' zero, and solve the equation for 'x'. -- The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. 'x' is zero at every point on the y-axis. So to find where the line crosses the y-axis, make 'x' zero, and solve the equation for 'y'. This is the central idea that the following answer calls "zero out". =========================================================X and Y intercepts
The y- axis in the vertical axis and the x-axis in the horizantal axis
There's no such thing.A set of x, y, and z axes (the plural of axis) make up a cartesian coordinate system in 3-dimensional space, though.Check related link if you would like to see an example of x y z axis
y is for up and down. x is across.
y is up and down x is left and right
By convention x is positive to the right ( horizontal axis) y is positive straight up ( vertical axis)
The X axis goes left to right, while the Y axis goes up and down.
The x-axis comes first. because x comes before y.
The vertical axis is the y-axis. The horizontal axis is the x-axis.
