Originally, the Latin alphabet had no Y. However, ancient Romans invaded Greece and added a few Greek words to their lexicon. Unfortunately, the Latin language could not transcribe all Greek sonorities, so Latin adopted the letters Y (=upsilon) and Z (=zeta).

Is the letter y a vowel in the word crazy?
No, the letter "y" is not a vowel in the word "crazy." In this word, "y" is serving as a consonant sound.
Why does the letter Y look like a capital letter?

What is the homonym for why?
Y are the homonyms for why.
What is something that begins with the letter y in Romania?
y exist only in words of foreign origin.
The point where x and y axis meet?
It is the origin
The point where the x and y axis meet?
origin
What is the origin of the x and y axis?
The origin of the x and y axis, is (0,0).
Is this symmetric with y x origin or all y 20x?
y = 20x is symmetric about the origin. (If you rotate it around the origin, it will look the same before it is rotated 360 degrees).
What is the y-coordinate of the origin?
The origin has a coordinate of (0,0).
What is the y-intercept in y equals 5x?
The origin.
Is -6 on the y axis considered to be on the origin?
No. The origin is the place where the x-axis and the y-axis cross. 'x' and 'y' are both zero there.
How do you rotate a figure about the origin?
The x,y origin is 0,0
What is the origin of zero?
In a rectilinear (xy) plot where a point is represented by a pair of numbers (x,y), the origin is normally (0,0). That is, at the origin, x=0 and y=0.
How can you name a point on a graph?
Compare it's position to the origin. The x coordinate is the number of units to the right of the origin. (If it is to the left of the origin the x coordinate is negative.) The y coordinate is the number of units above the origin. (If it is below, the y coordinate is negative.) The point is denoted (x,y) with the x coordinate in place of the x and the y coordinate in place of the y.
The y-intercept of a line through the origin is zero?
Yes, because the line crosses the y-axis at the origin and the y-value at that point is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept is zero and this equation for this line would be y=x.
