The convention for an x-y graph is as follows: y | | |_____ x where the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical.
The y-axis is the vertical line that is perpendicular to the horizontal line of the x-axis on the Cartesian plane
A vertical line has the same x-value. A horizontal line has the same y-value. The equation, y=3 would graph as a horizontal line crossing the y-axis at 3.
A y-axis is the vertical number line of a two coordinated graph and a x-axis is the horizontal number line.
The slope of a line is the change of the y(vertical) axis over the x(horizontal) axis. It is the rate. In the formula y=ax+b the a is the slope.
