The y axis is referred to as the ordinate axis The x axis is called the abcissa
Which variable should you place along the x-axis and which variable should you place along the y-axis?
X goes on the x-axis, and y goes on the y-axis....
The point where the x and y-axis meet?
The point where the x-axis and the y-axis meet is called the origin.
When a point lies on the y axis what do you know about its x axis?
If a point lies on the y axis, then x=0
Is -6 on the y axis considered to be on the origin?
No. The origin is the place where the x-axis and the y-axis cross. 'x' and 'y' are both zero there.
Where is y and x axis?
The y- axis in the vertical axis and the x-axis in the horizantal axis
Which comes first x axis or the y axis?
The x-axis comes first. because x comes before y.
Is a vertical like on the Y axis or the X axis?
The vertical axis is the y-axis. The horizontal axis is the x-axis.
Where is the X axis and the Y axis in a coordinate plane?
The x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical.
What are x-axis and y-axis?
In the coordinate plane, the x-axis is horizontal, and the y-axis is vertical.
On a graph which axis is horizontal and which axis is vertical?
The convention for an x-y graph is as follows: y | | |_____ x where the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical.
What does the x and y axis mean?
The x-axis is the horizontal axis on a graph. The y-axis is the vertical axis on a graph.
What do the x and y axis mean?
The x-axis is the horizontal axis on a graph. The y-axis is the vertical axis on a graph.
Do coordinates start with the y axis or x axis?
the start on the x axis or the horizontal line! (x,y)
The point were x axis and the y axis intersect on a grid?
The origin is where x axis and y axis intersect.
Y axis and x axis plane?
x axis is on horizontal plane and y axis is on vertical plane.
Does a y-axis come before a x-axis in a graph?
NO, first comes x-axis and then y-axis. You can think of it as having X-axis as a base on which you are standing and y-axis as a wall/ side, the main thing is base/x-axis because you are not standing on the walls, or you can just remember it by thinking that in the alphabet x comes before y! The y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis.
