To identify the location of a point in 2-d space you need to know the distances of the point from a fixed reference point (the origin). Since the space is 2-dimensional, you need to know the distances in 2 directions. These directions form the axes. They are usually orthogonal (at 90 degrees to one another) but they need not be. For example, axes for isometric charts are at 60 degree angle.

Where the x and y axis cross in a coordinate plane?
The x and y axis cross at (0,0) on the coordinate plane.
What is a coordinate plane in math?
A coordinate plane consists of the y axis up and left and the x axis right and down
What is the horizontal axis in a coordinate plane?
It is the x axis
The horizontal or vertical number line on the coordinate plane?
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the y-axis.
What is the independent axis?
I believe you mean the x-axis, the horizontal axis on a coordinate plane

The horizontal or vertical number line on the coordinate plane?
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the y-axis.
What is the plane containing x and y axis?
Coordinate Plane
What does axis mean in math?
The vertical axis in a plane coordinate graph
What is the independent axis?
I believe you mean the x-axis, the horizontal axis on a coordinate plane
How do you remember the x axis and the y axis?
X has two lines that cross. Think of a-cross. X axis is horizontal on a coordinate plane. Y has a vertical line... the Y axis is the vertical on a coordinate plane.
The vertical line in a coordinate plane?
The y axis
The x-axis and the y-axis divide a coordinate plane into four?
Quadrants.
When graphing on the coordinate plane the vertical axis is called?
Up and down axis
