the x and y is the name of the axis, you need to label the axis on a graph as X and Y.X is the the line that goes horizontally and y is the one that goes in a portrait way.the way to remember is .if you cross your hand to make the X letter one hand goes across the other therefore the axis x is the line that is going across.
The x-axis is the horizontal axis on a graph. The y-axis is the vertical axis on a graph.
The y axis is vertical and the x axis is horizontal.
In a Cartesian grid, the x-axis is the horizontal axis, and the y-axis is the vertical axis.
The x-axis comes first. because x comes before y.
"signal intensity" is the y- axis of a mass spectrum.
X axis is horizontal, and The Y axis is vertical.
Just label one axis x and the other axis y. Voila!! x y graph!
Other
axis labels are x and y while bar graph labels explain what the graph is representing.
The label on the y-axis or vertical axis.
On a vertical axis you should label it the "y-axis". Then make sure to put the numbers needed on the line! :)
The independent variable is plotted on the horizontal axis, or x axis. The dependent variable, or response variable is plotted on the vertical axis, or y axis.
On a graph of acceleration, you would typically label the y-axis as "Acceleration (m/s^2)" and the x-axis as "Time (s)." This allows you to visually represent how acceleration changes with respect to time.
x= horizontal(flat) y=vertical(up and down)
Normally the vertical y-axis is considered the dependent variable and the horizontal x-axis the independent variable. ie the variable plotted up the y-axis depends upon the variable plotted along the x-axis.
We start on the horizontal axis because of tradition. You would get the same results if you started on the vertical axis, as long as you continue to label the horizontal axis as the x-axis and the vertical axis as the y-axis.
