Which goes first x-axis or y- axis?

The x coordinate goes first.


How are ordered pairs used on a coordinate plane?

the first coordinate goes on the X axis, either positive (To the right of the Y axis) or negative (to the left of the Y axis). The second coordinate goes on the Y axis, either positive (above the X axis) or negative (below the X axis).


In an ordered pair it does not matter which number is called the x coordinate and which is called the y coordinate?

The first coordinate always is called the "x" coordinate, because it goes on the "x" axis, while the second coordinate is always called the "y" coordinate because it always goes on the "y" axis.


What is a coordinate plain?

It's a type of graph. It has coordinates like the ones in Battleship, except these are 2 numbers. It has lots of boxes on it. There are two(2) bold lines, one vertical, one horizontal. The horizontal line is the "X" axis, and the vertical line is the "Y" axis. Like I said before, there are 2 numbers to the coordinate. (Where you put a dot or mark.) The first number is the "X" axis number, and that goes left or right. If it is a negative number, then it goes left. If it is positive, you go right. The other number is the "Y" axis number. That goes up or down. You start from where you left off on the "X" axis, and if it is positive, you go up. If it is negative, you go down. [Ex; if you have the coordinate (5,-3) then you go five to the right, and 3 down, and make a mark on that line.]


What is the horizontal or vertical number line on the coordinate grid called?

The x axis goes left or right (horizontal). The y axis goes high or low (vertical).


Which varible goes on the y axis?

Any variable (or number), can go on the y-axis, as long as it is identified as being there by a coordinate pair (or triple).


Does the y axis go first?

the X axis goes first then the Y axis.


The coordinate of a point on a number line?

its how far it goes on the x-axis and how far it goes up on the y-axis its written as (x,y) you could have (4,5)... (-6,0)... (0,0)... (4,-5)


What is a rectangular coordinate system plane?

A rectangular coordinate plane, also known as a Cartesian plane, comprises an infinite plane (or a part of one) with a pair of axes that meet at right angles. The "horizontal" axis (x-axis) goes from left to right while the "vertical" axis (y-axis) goes from bottom to top. The axes meet at the origin and the location of every point in the plane is uniquely identified by an ordered pair. The first number in the ordered pair is the signed distance from the origin to the point in the direction of the x-axis while the second is the corresponding measure along the y-axis.


What is a horizontal line on a coordinate grid?

the line that goes from left to right, not up and down. it is actually called the x-axis


Which axis goes first when you plot in math y or x?

The X axis goes left to right, while the Y axis goes up and down.


Do you do the x or y coordinate first?

The X coordinate always goes first think a baby crawls before it walks
