Yes... More or less. The axes can be called anything; traditionally, the horizontal axis is often called "x", the vertical axis is often called "y", and the vertical component is assumed to be the dependent part ("y" is a function of "x"). However, other combinations are also possible; for example, if there is time involved in the graph, the horizontal axis will usually be the time.

Is the horizontal axis also called the value axis?
False! the vertical axis ( y axis) is the one also known as the value axis
In a line graph the horizontal axis is also called the?
"The x-axis or the x co-ordinate (also known as the horizontal axis of the graph or its abscissa) is the first element in a pair of co-ordinates. On the other hand, the y-axis or the y co-ordinate (also known as the vertical axis of the graph or its ordinate) is the second element in a pair of co-ordinates."
Which letters have horizontal and oblique line segments?
It depends on the way in which they are written. 4 and 7 clearly have horizontal and oblique lines. The number 1, in some fonts (like this one), also has both. All the rest have sections that are horizontal and those that are oblique.
If the slope of a line is zero What is the slope of the line that is parallel to it?
The parallel line would also have a slope of zero (both are horizontal lines).
What is the meaning of x?
x is the horizontal axis on a graph. It can also represent multiplication or the word "by", for example a room is called 10' x 10' (10 by 10).
