X has two lines that cross. Think of a-cross. X axis is horizontal on a coordinate plane. Y has a vertical line... the Y axis is the vertical on a coordinate plane.

When writing coordinates on a graph does the y or x axis come first?

The x axis comes first! The Y axis is second!Remember: X,Y,Z!


Which axis is the X and Y on?

The y-axis is vertical and the x-axis is horizontal.


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)


What direction does a y axis face?

The side is the WRONG answer. A Y axis is up and down and a X axis is left and right. Easiest way to remember is Y to the sky, X to the side. Also, the Z axis is front to back.


In a line graph the what axis is called a y-axis?

Easy way to remember which axis is which: x is a cross (across)


In a line graph the axis is called the y-axis?

Easy way to remember which axis is which: x is a cross (across)


Which is first x or y axis?

Well, honey, the x-axis always comes before the y-axis in the Cartesian coordinate system. It's like the x-axis is the opening act, setting the stage for the y-axis to come in and steal the show. So, remember, x marks the spot before y gets its turn to shine.


If the x axis is vertical and the y axis is horizontal which one is referred to first?

x axis. I'm not sure why but i remember because x comes before y in the alphabet. that's what my math teacher taught me.


Where is y and x axis?

The y- axis in the vertical axis and the x-axis in the horizantal axis


What comes first on a graph X or Y axis?

On a graph, the x-axis comes first. The x-axis can be described as a number line, for which the y-axis rests on. The z-axis rests on both.


Which comes first x axis or the y axis?

The x-axis comes first. because x comes before y.
