"The" vertical line is wrong; there are lots of vertical lines on a coordinate plane. In the usual x-y coordinate system, such a line has an equation of the form:x = a
(for some constant "a"); for example:
x = 3

What is the other term for the straight line in a cartesian plane?
A straight line on the Cartesian plane is the graph of a linear equation.
Another name for the x coordinate of a point is?
The abscissa is another name for the x (horizontal) coordinate of a point. Pronounced "ab-SISS-ah" (the 'c;' is silent). Not used very much. Most commonly, the term "x-coordinate" is used. The ordinate is another name for the y (vertical) coordinate of a point. Pronounced "ORD-inet". Not used very much. Most commonly, the term "y-coordinate" is used.
Which of the following is not an undefined term a point a ray a line or a plane?
A ray is not an undefined term.
Another name for a y coordinate?
Ordinate and Range
What is the term that best describes the point line or curve defined by the intersection of a cone and a plane?
The phrase is a "conic section".
What is the medical term meaning side view?
Lateral view. For instance, your Deltoid tuberosity is on the lateral side of the Humerus. When viewing the body in sections the sagittal plane is a vertical line either to the left or the right. The Median sagittal plane is the imaginary vertical plane that divides the body evenly on both sides, its the middle line basically.
Why the line x equals 4 is a vertical line?
The equation of the line x = 4 has no term for y in the equation. Therefore any value of y can be used and the x coordinate is still equal 4. So a straight vertical line, crossing the x axis at (4,0) is the only line which satisfies these conditions. You can plot some points: (4,0); (4,100); (4,-5265), etc. and then connect the dots to see that it is a straight vertical line.
In the xy-plane the y-axis contains all ordered pairs such that?
the x-coordinate is 0, apex :)
What is the difference between graphing a line and graphing an inequality?
when graphing a line you simply plot the points based on the ordered pairs and connect the dots; there you have a line. An inequality graph refers to the shaded region of the coordinate plane that does not coincide with the line, hence the term, inequality.
What does the math term graph mean?
it means that you are plotting the points on a graph, or XY coordinate plane
What is the terminology of the word 'saggital'?
The word sagittal is an anatomical term or location. It describes the vertical plane of the standing body. The mid-sagital line splits the body into left and right.
What curved surface compares to which undefined term in Euclidean geometry?
a plane
What is the other term for the straight line in a cartesian plane?
A straight line on the Cartesian plane is the graph of a linear equation.
What does image mean in math term?
It is an exact replica of an shape on agraph only in a different area of the coordinate plane.
What is the term for A line that a graph approaches but does not reach It may be a vertical horizontal or slanted line?
An asymptote.
What is undifined term in geometry?
a point, line and plane
What is the common term for the sets of all points with x-coordinate zero?
All points with a 0 for the x coordinate is the y axis.
