A grid with a horizontal axis and a vertical axis that intersect at a point is called a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes are perpendicular to each other and therefore form four right angles at the point at which they intersect, known as the origin.

What is the point in the coordinate plane where the horizontal axis intersects the vertical axis?

This point is the origin.


Why will the horizontal and vertical components of a vector be equal in magnitude if the angle is 45 degrees?

Get some graph paper, draw two axes and bisect them with a 45 degree sloping line. Next pick any point on that 45 degree sloping line and from that point draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis so that it intersects the vertical axis. Do the same thing from the point drawing a line parallel with the vertical axis so that it intersects the horizontal axis. These two lines represent represent the components of your vector and if you measure them they will be of equal length and thus of equal magnitude. For ANY angle of slope (other than 45 degrees) the two vectors will not be of equal length.


Is the y-axis vertical or horizontal?

The y axis is vertical and the x axis is horizontal.


Where is the Y intercept on a graph?

It is the point where the curve (i.e. line) intersects the vertical axis or the y-axis. ... or when x=0.


Is the X axis on the horizontal or vertical axis?

The x axis is the horizontal axis. The y axis is the vertical axis.


What is the name of horizontal and the vertical lines drawn to determine the position of any point in the Cartesian planeM?

Is the graph of y a horizontal or vertical line?

The y axis is a vertical line whereas the x axis is a horizontal line and both axes intersect at right angles at the point of origin.


What axis is the y axis?

A synonym for the y-axis is the vertical axis. In math, a graph has a vertical and a horizontal axis. Another name for the horizontal axis is the x -axis.


Is the y axis is vertical or horizontal?
