In a standard Cartesian coordinate system, the x-axis runs horizontally from left to right, while the y-axis runs vertically from bottom to top. The point where the two axes intersect is called the origin, typically denoted as (0,0). Positive values on the x-axis extend to the right, and positive values on the y-axis extend upward.

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.


What is Cartesian motion?

motion in the direction of the 3 axes namely x - axis, y - axis and z - axis...


What is on the x axis and y axis on both a speed and acceleration graph?

Conventionally, the x axis is time and usually the y axis is, respectively, radial speed and radial acceleration. In such examples, the y-variables are measured in one direction from a fixed point (the origin). Motion across that direction is usually ignored.


What type of data must be plotted on a graph for the slope of the line to represent density?

Density is defined as mass/volume, and since slope is rise/run, with the rise being the y-axis and the run the x-axis, mass should be the y-axis and volume the x-axis. For example, you would put grams on the y-axis and ml on the x-axis.


Can a vector directed along y-axis have an x component?

Yes: such a vector would have only an x component, and it's change in regards to the y axis would be 0 (i.e. it would never get closer or farther from the y-axis).


X axis is in this direction?

the x-axis is the horizontal line. The y-axis is the one going up and down.


A force of 10N is acting along y-axis Its component along x-axis is?

0 N, since there is no x component of the force.

Which quadrant does the line representing the equation Y equals 7X pass through?

At what point does line represented by the equation 8x + 4y = -4 intersects the y-axis, and at what point in the negative direction of x-axis.


How do you plot points in the Cartesian coordinate system?

The Cartesian plane consists of a horizontal axis (usually called the x-axis), and a vertical axis (usually the y-axis) which meet at right angles at a point called the Origin. The positive direction of the x-axis is to the right while that of the y-axis is up along the paper. Every point in the Cartesian plane is assigned two coordinates: the x-coordinate (also called the abscissa) and the y-coordinate (the ordinate). These are often written in the form (x, y). To plot the point P = (x,y), you start from the origin. Move x units along the x-axis. From that point you move y units along the y-axis. The end point is where P is to be plotted. If the value of x or y is negative, you move in the negative direction of the axes.


What is the formula for finding the direction for a vector?

To find the direction of a vector, you can use the formula: θ = tan^(-1) (y/x), where θ is the angle of the vector with the positive x-axis, and (x, y) are the components of the vector along the x and y axes, respectively.


What is the displacement of x and y?

The displacement of x is the change in position along the horizontal axis, while the displacement of y is the change in position along the vertical axis. These displacements are typically measured in units such as meters or feet, and can be positive (movement in one direction) or negative (movement in the opposite direction).
