Does a y-axis come before a x-axis in a graph?

NO, first comes x-axis and then y-axis. You can think of it as having X-axis as a base on which you are standing and y-axis as a wall/ side, the main thing is base/x-axis because you are not standing on the walls, or you can just remember it by thinking that in the alphabet x comes before y! The y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis.


Which way do the x-axis and the y- axis go in horizontal bar graph?

On a bar graph you have the X-Axis and the Y-Axis, the Y-Axis is a vertical line (straight line facing up )and the X-Axis is the horizontal line (straight line facing down) if you want to remember where the Y-Axis is then you say north to south and you draw that and if you want to remember where the X-Axis is then you just sat east to west or you say, Yay Xmas (christmas)
