How do you remember the x axis and the y axis?

X has two lines that cross. Think of a-cross. X axis is horizontal on a coordinate plane. Y has a vertical line... the Y axis is the vertical on a coordinate plane.


What is the equetion of a straight line?

Y=mx+b. this equation is used for straight lines on a graph. Each letter represents something different. Y is the y-axis (the vertical lines of the graph). M is the slope. X is the x-axis (the horizontal lines of the graph). B is the y-intercepts (where the line intercepts with the y axis).


What is y and x axis?

an x and y axis is what you would find on a grid, most probable a bar chart


How do you write an equation if the slope is undefined?

Undefined slopes belong to lines that are vertical. These lines do not cross the y-axis, but do cross the x-axis. Therefore, the equation for these lines are always: x = # (where # is the value at which the line is crossing the x-axis).


What is the horizontal and vertical lines in a coordinate system?

Horizontal is X-Axis and Vertical is Y-Axis.


What are the values of x and y?

y is up and down, x is forward and back, And Z is left and right. If you mean like a sales chart, it probably means different products they are selling. That is what they mean, where you find them are depending on the chart


Latitude represents which axis on the grid?

lines of lattitude extend up the y axis but are parallel to/on the x axis


What two lines make a coordinate graph?

The X and Y Axis


Why not every line has both an x- and a y- intercept?

Some lines does not touch the x-axis or y-axis. For example, when the equation of line is y=1, the line never touches the y-axis [coordinates on the line would be (_,1)]. Equations such as y=1/x will not touch both axis.


What is another named for the y coordinate?

The Y-axis is also known as the Ordinate, while the X-axis is known as the Abscissa.


Can a point lie on two different lines?

Yes as long as the two lines are intersecting at that point. For example if you looked at an x-y axis, the point (0,0) would lie on both the x and y axis or two different lines.


What is a definition for coordinate graph?

A coordinate graph has two perpendicular lines, or axes, labeled with number and called number lines. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the origin. I'm doing this in school now!
