The x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical.
For an example, if negative and positive directions on the X and Y axes represent left/right and forward/backward, Z axis represents up/down.
A point on a 3-d coordinate system would take the form of (x,y,z). You go x units on the x-axis (left or right), y units on the y-axis (up or down), and z units on the z-axis, (front or back).
In 2-dimensions, it is the y-axis. In 3-dimensions, though, the x and y axes form the horizontal plane and the z-axis is the vertical axis.
The three axes in a Cartesian coordinate system are the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. The x-axis typically represents horizontal values, the y-axis represents vertical values, and the z-axis represents depth, adding a third dimension. Together, these axes define a three-dimensional space where any point can be located using an ordered triplet of coordinates (x, y, z).
The side is the WRONG answer. A Y axis is up and down and a X axis is left and right. Easiest way to remember is Y to the sky, X to the side. Also, the Z axis is front to back.
3. One for the x-axis, one for the y-axis, and one for the z-axis.
The Y. The bottom one is the X axis, the up one is the Y axis and the depth one is the Z axis (not always used)
the z axis is at right angles to both the x and the y axis. All 3 axis pass through the origin.
The z-axis is perpendicular to the plane of the x and y-axes in 3-dimensional space.
y-intercepty-z Plane
For an example, if negative and positive directions on the X and Y axes represent left/right and forward/backward, Z axis represents up/down.
The x axis comes first! The Y axis is second!Remember: X,Y,Z!
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
Z was taken
X and Z axis, no Y axis
motion in the direction of the 3 axes namely x - axis, y - axis and z - axis...
