What do the letter x and y stand for?

X and Y do not stand for anything. They are merely letters that represent a variable in an algebraic equation. X is generally used as the first variable, and Y is used as the second variable, to differentiate the difference between two variables so one letter does not need to be used for two variables. In GRAPHS, they stand for the axis line. X is the horizontal axis, and Y is the vertical axis.
