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,
They refer to the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis that are perpendicular to each other on the 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
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.
The two letters for a 2-dimensional plane are X and Y. Each one is known as an axis, therefore being the X axis and the Y axis. The X axis is the horizontal dimension and the Y axis is the vertical dimension.
