Why x axis and y axis must be perpendicular to each other?
The x and y axis need to be perpendicular to each other in order for them to intersect each other at the point of origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane,
How do you decide which variable should be on the x axes and which should be on the y axes?
If you believe that one of the variables depends on the other then the dependent variable should go on the y axis. If they are dependent on each other (or both dependent on something else) or if they are independent then do whatever you like.
What does axis mean reffering to the x and y axis?
They refer to the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis that are perpendicular to each other on the Cartesian plane
What is the vertical line in cartesian plane?
It is the y axis and the horizontal line is the x axis and both axes are perpendicular to each other at the point of the origin
How do you read coordinate?
If the co-ordinate you are talking about is in the form of (X,Y) X is the term on the x axis (Bottom axis) Y is the term on the y axis (The Vertical axis) the total co-ordinate will be where the unit on each axis cross.
