How do you know if a point lies on either the x axis the y axis?

A point lies on the x-axis if its y-coordinate is zero, meaning it can be represented as ((x, 0)). Conversely, a point lies on the y-axis if its x-coordinate is zero, represented as ((0, y)). If either condition is met, the point is on the respective axis.


The vertical axis measures what quantity?

The vertical axis typically measures the dependent variable in a graph, which is the quantity that responds to changes in the independent variable represented on the horizontal axis. This arrangement allows for a visual representation of the relationship between the two variables, making it easier to analyze trends and patterns in the data.


When you are asked to construct a graph that represents one quantity in terms of another quantity how do you know which quantity to place as a label on which axes?

You get one (first) quantity by itself in terms of another(second) and by convention that first quantity is on the y axis and the second on the x. It does not make any difference which quantity you choose to be by itself. For example, suppose the first quantity is D for dollars and the second is C for cents and D = 100C You plot D on the y axis and C on the x However you could choose to get C by itself as C = D/100 and plot C on the y axis and D on the x So you need not worry about which quantity, just get any one by itself and plot on the y axis


What axis do you read first the x axis or y axis?

When reading a graph, you typically read the x-axis first, as it represents the independent variable. After noting the values on the x-axis, you then look at the y-axis, which shows the dependent variable. This sequence helps to understand the relationship between the two variables being represented.

Why does the demand curve have negative slope?

because quantity is on x axis and price is on y axis and as the price increase the demand decrease

How did the x-axis and y-axis get their name?

Unknown variables are often represented by lower case letters in English: that is, x, y, z, w etc. When there are just two, they are usually denoted by x and y. A graph of these requires the two axes which are therefore called the x-axis and y-axis respectively.


What is the x value of the point where a graph crosses the x-axis?

It can be casually called the x intercept, but it/they is/are the root(s) of the function represented by the graph
