The bit with the negative x-axis goes to the positive x-axis.
It is the distance, from the origin in the positive direction of the x-axis which is usually the horizontal axis going towards the right.
It will cross the x-axis twice.
A vertical line passing through 0, commonly called the y-axis, and a horizontal line passingg through 0, commonly called the x-axis, divide the plane into 4 quadrants. Moving counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis, in the 1st quadrant x and y are both positive, in the 2nd quadrant x is negative and y is positive, in the third quadrant both x and y are negative and in the fourth quadrant x is positive and y is negative. Hope this helps.
The axes of any chart should be labelled. Usually the horizontal axis is the x-axis and the vertical axis is the y-axis. But, if you are given a square piece of graph paper with two axes on it and either a scatter plot or a line, and no labels nor data then you do not have a chance.
