The combination of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis is called a Cartesian coordinate system, or in short, a graph.

Is plotted on the x-axis on a time distance graph?

Time is plotted on the HORIZONTAL axis. That may or may not be the x-axis. If I choose to call the distance X, then X will be plotted on the vertical axis!


What is it call the line that is across the bottom of a graph?

the vertical Axis


What do you call the vertical groupings of the elements?

The vertical columns are called 'Groups' The horizontal rows are called 'Periods'


What do you call the horizontal line extending from the origin in a cartesian graph?

The X-axis.


What do you call a strong but bried storm front indicated by a mass of roiling black clouds?

I would say that that storm has a significant amount of horizontal wind causing horizontal rotation. In other words I would keep an eye on that storm because the horizontal rotation might be flipped onto a vertical axis and became vertical rotation which could possibly produce a tornado if there is enough rotation present.


What do you call on the horizontal line in the Cartesian plane?

The horizontal line in the Cartesian plane is called the x-axis or x-coordinate.


What do we call the address for a point on a coordinate grid?

As you remember from pre-algebra a coordinate plane is a two-dimensional number line where the vertical line is called the y-axis and the horizontal is called the x-axis. These lines are perpendicular and intersect at their zero points. This point is called the origin.


What do you call the vertical bar in a fraction?

There is no vertical bar in a fraction. A fraction is written with either a horizontal bar or a slanted bar, which is technically called a "vinculum", but most people call it a "fraction bar".


How imaginary numbers are used in electricity into calculation?

'Complex numbers' are numbers that comprise 'real' and 'imaginary' numbers. In electrical engineering, we identify 'imaginary' numbers by placing a lower-case 'j' in front of them. For example, the complex number (10 + j5) comprises the 'real' number, 10, and an 'imaginary' number, 5. We use complex numbers to locate points on a graph. Mathematicians call the horizontal axis of a graph the 'real axis', and they call the vertical axis the 'imaginary axis'. So 'imaginary' doesn't mean something that only exists in the mind, it's simply a mathematical term for the vertical axis of a graph. So the complex number (10 + j5) is used to represent a point which is located 10 units along the positive horizontal axis and 5 units along the positive vertical axis. In alternating current theory, we use 'phasors' (a type of vector) to represent voltages or currents that lie at different angles to each other, so we can define them in terms of horizontal and vertical axes. In other words, every phasor can be defined in terms of real and imaginary numbers. We can then use the rules of 'complex mathematics' to multiply, divide, add, or subtract phasors -but that's another story!


What do we call the imaginary line that circles the Earth's middle?

The horizontal line that goes around the "waist" of the Earth is the Equator. The vertical line that goes vertically around the Earth, through the poles, is the Prime Meridian.


If you are to constuct a graph with volume of an horizontal axis and pressure on the vertical axis what will your graph look like?

According to the ideal gas law, pressure times volume is constant. We'll call that constant c. PV=C, P=c/V, so pressure is inversely related to volume, so it would look like the graph y=1/x multiplied by a constant.


Does bar graphs touch?

Everyone including books and people answering on this website get this wrong. It does matter and the rule is simple. If your horizontal access is something where it is not possible to rank in any special order- for example favourite crisp flavours or different ways of getting to work - then the bars are separate. I think spacing of a third or half the bar width looks neatest. If you have a horizontal axis of some grouped data, like length of leaves, then you have a histogram and the bars touch. Strictly a histogram has a vertical axis of density to accommodate different width groupings. In many cases all the widths are identical and you have a simple frequency up the vertical axis. There does not seem any unaminity of the correct name for this animal. On the one hand I'd use "histogram" so it's clear the bars touch but then some purists object because the vertical axis isn't density. On balance I'd still call it a histogram.
