A grid with a horizontal axis and a vertical axis that intersect at a point is called a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes are perpendicular to each other and therefore form four right angles at the point at which they intersect, known as the origin.

When lateral shift is zero?

When the lateral shift is zero, it means that there is no horizontal displacement of an object or point from its original position. This indicates that the object or point remains aligned along the same vertical axis.


What is plotted on the horizontal x axis while distance is plotted on the vertical y axis?

On the horizontal x-axis, the independent variable is typically plotted, and on the vertical y-axis, the dependent variable is plotted. The x-axis represents the input or factor that is being tested or manipulated, while the y-axis represents the output or result that is being measured or observed.


What is the equation of the vertical line that passes through the point 0-4?

The vertical line that passes through the point (0, 4) is the Y-axis. Its equation isX = 0


Why there is no higher latitude than 90 degree N and 90 degree S?

If you draw a circle on a piece of paper then put a vertical and horizontal line through it (these lines going though the centre point of the circle), then the horizontal line represents the equator (0 degrees) and the vertical line represents the axis of rotation of the Earth and passes though the N and S poles. Now if you look at the diagram you will see that at the centre point where the vertical and horizontal lines cross, they meet at a right angle (at 90 degrees). Thus the highest latitude you can get to N or S is 90 degrees from the plane of the equator.


The earth's geographic poles are located on the of rotation?

The Earth's geographic poles are located at the points where its axis of rotation intersects the planet's surface. The North Pole is the point where the Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface in the Northern Hemisphere, and the South Pole is where it intersects in the Southern Hemisphere.

Is the y-axis vertical or horizontal?

The y axis is vertical and the x axis is horizontal.


Why will the horizontal and vertical components of a vector be equal in magnitude if the angle is 45 degrees?

Get some graph paper, draw two axes and bisect them with a 45 degree sloping line. Next pick any point on that 45 degree sloping line and from that point draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis so that it intersects the vertical axis. Do the same thing from the point drawing a line parallel with the vertical axis so that it intersects the horizontal axis. These two lines represent represent the components of your vector and if you measure them they will be of equal length and thus of equal magnitude. For ANY angle of slope (other than 45 degrees) the two vectors will not be of equal length.


What is the name of horizontal and the vertical lines drawn to determine the position of any point in the Cartesian planeM?

Very simply (and unimaginatively), the horizontal axis or x axis and the vertical or y axis.


Where is the Y intercept on a graph?

It is the point where the curve (i.e. line) intersects the vertical axis or the y-axis. ... or when x=0.

Is the graph of y a horizontal or vertical line?

The y axis is a vertical line whereas the x axis is a horizontal line and both axes intersect at right angles at the point of origin.


What axis is the y axis?

A synonym for the y-axis is the vertical axis. In math, a graph has a vertical and a horizontal axis. Another name for the horizontal axis is the x -axis.


Is the y axis is vertical or horizontal?

Vertical.
