In classical Cartesian algebra, the x axis is defined as a horizontal number line defining the distance from a zero point called the "origin." The y axis is a vertical line defining the vertical distance from the same origin. This system has been adapted to define axes on any number of graphing systems, from Microsoft Excel to modern machine tools.

The point were x axis and the y axis intersect on a grid?
The origin is where x axis and y axis intersect.
Does a y-axis come before a x-axis in a graph?
NO, first comes x-axis and then y-axis. You can think of it as having X-axis as a base on which you are standing and y-axis as a wall/ side, the main thing is base/x-axis because you are not standing on the walls, or you can just remember it by thinking that in the alphabet x comes before y! The y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis.
How do you plot on an x and y axis?
The first number is the X axis and the second number is the Y axis
Where is x axis and y axis on a graph?
The y axis is going up on the graph and the x axis is going sideways on the graph
What does it mean when the x coordinate or y coordinate of a point is 0?
When the X - Coordinate is 0: The point lies on Y - Axis. Eg. (0,3) lies on Y - Axis Eg. (0,5) lies on Y - Axis Eg. (0,1) lies on Y - Axis When the Y - Coordinate is 0: The point lies on X - Axis. Eg. (2,0) lies on X - Axis Eg. (3,0) lies on X - Axis Eg. (6,0) lies on X - Axis
