The X axis goes left to right, while the Y axis goes up and down.
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.
Along the bottom and up the left hand side for most graphs.In the general case the x-axis runs horizontally through the origin, and the y-axis runs vertically through the origin. In each case the axis runs from minus infinity to plus infinity.Well if your talking about on a coordinate plane or a set of perpendicular lines the y axis goes up and down and the x axis goes sideways (if you want it simple).
The x axis is the horizontal (flat, bottom, left-right) axis generally, though sometimes they are manipulated to make math easier. -the x axis sometimes represents time The y axis is the vertical (up-down) one.
X axis is across and Y axis is down
