Yes., and their being along the coordinate axes does not change the answer.Consider the vectors: i, -i and j where i is the unit vector along the x axis and j along the y axis. The resultant of the three is j.
In the system of Cartesian coordinates in geometry, the x-coordinate is the location in the horizontal direction (nominally left and right) while the y-coordinate is in the vertical direction (up and down). The line along which x values are measured is the x-axis. An x-coordinate to the left of center (zero) is negative, and to the right is positive. (In three dimensions, the x and y form a horizontal plane and the z coordinate is measured along the vertical axis.)
The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates: how far along the point is.
The x and y displacement from the origin along standard orthogonal axes
The origin is (0, 0), so the x-coordinate of the origin is 0. The point is located somewhere along the line x = 0, which is called the y-axis.
A tangent of the vector is the projection of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system.
An abscissa is the coordinate representing the position of a point along a line perpendicular to the y-axis in a plane Cartesian coordinate system.

No. Glide reflection is a combination of an ordinary reflection and a slide along the line of reflection. A two reflections across two vertical lines is a translation without any reflection or rotation.
In the horizon coordinate system, azimuth is similar to longitude in the geographic coordinate system. Azimuth represents the direction of an object in degrees along the horizon, similar to how longitude represents the east-west position on Earth's surface.

A glide reflection is a combination of a reflection in a line and a translation along that line. This can be done in either order. A rotational transformation is a rotation around a fixed point or axis.
A ray directed towards the centre of curvature of a convex mirror will reflect back on itself along the same path. This is because the centre of curvature is located on the normal line, so the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection will be equal due to the principle of reflection.

Not a coordinate but a pair (or larger set) of coordinates.These are ordered sets of numbers that give the distance of the point, from the origin, along each of the axes in multidimensional space.
The equator is the 'zero' of latitude, so the smaller the latitude number is, the closer it is to the equator. There's no such thing as the 'closest' or smallest. You can name any latitude you want to, and no matter how small it is, I can always name a smaller one.
