Of course. If you have a function that climbs very steeply and you want to show its shape, you can number the Y axis in increments of 1000 and the X in increments of 1. This will, of course, make the curve appear 1000 times flatter visually.

Also, the two axes may not necessarily even measure the same thing. On any newspaper financial page, you will find a graph with the X axis numbered to represent time and the Y to represent a stock index price.

What are the quadrants on the cooridinate plane?

They are the four parts of the plane formed by the axes, They are numbered anti-clockwise from North East so that North East = I: x > 0, y > 0 North West = II: x < 0, y > 0 South West = III: x < 0, y < 0 South East = IV: x > 0, y < 0 Points with x = 0 or y = 0 lie on an axis (or axes) and do not belong to any single quadrant.


In which quadrant would an ordered pair that has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate be plotted?

The quadrants formed by the x and y axes are numbered anticlockwise from the quadrant in which both coordinates are positive (which is quadrant I). Thus negative x and positive y is in the quadrant II.

Does X axes go before Y axes?

When you write the coordinates in a pair, the X coordinate goes before the Y coordinate. For example, (2, 5) is x=2, y=5.
