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.

Do coordinates start with the y axis or x axis?
the start on the x axis or the horizontal line! (x,y)
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
Where is y and x axis?
The y- axis in the vertical axis and the x-axis in the horizantal axis
Which comes first x axis or the y axis?
The x-axis comes first. because x comes before y.
Is a vertical like on the Y axis or the X axis?
The vertical axis is the y-axis. The horizontal axis is the x-axis.
Where is the X axis and the Y axis in a coordinate plane?
The x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical.
What are x-axis and y-axis?
In the coordinate plane, the x-axis is horizontal, and the y-axis is vertical.
On a graph which axis is horizontal and which axis is vertical?
The convention for an x-y graph is as follows: y | | |_____ x where the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical.
What does the x and y axis mean?
The x-axis is the horizontal axis on a graph. The y-axis is the vertical axis on a graph.
What do the x and y axis mean?
The x-axis is the horizontal axis on a graph. The y-axis is the vertical axis on a graph.
Do coordinates start with the y axis or x axis?
the start on the x axis or the horizontal line! (x,y)
The point were x axis and the y axis intersect on a grid?
The origin is where x axis and y axis intersect.
Y axis and x axis plane?
x axis is on horizontal plane and y axis is on vertical plane.
Does a y-axis come before a x-axis in a graph?
NO, first comes x-axis and then y-axis.
