axis
i promise. its false.
The x axis goes left or right (horizontal). The y axis goes high or low (vertical).
It is a Cartesian plane. A 2-dimensional space defined by Cartesian coordinates (x,y).
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the y-axis.
The coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a vertical and a horizontal number line. What is the horizontal number line called?
The vertical number line which helpd to form the coordinate plane
The coordinate plane or grid.
"The" vertical line is wrong; there are lots of vertical lines on a coordinate plane. In the usual x-y coordinate system, such a line has an equation of the form:x = a (for some constant "a"); for example: x = 3
It is called the x axis and the vertical number line is the y axis
Coordinate plane
The horizontal line on the coordinate plane is the x axis and is usually in the form of a number line that meets the vertical y axis number line perpendicularly at the point of origin which is at (0, 0)
In the co-ordinate plane The horizontal number line is the 'x-axis'. The vertical number line is the y-axis. They intersect at the 'origin' ; coordinate (0,0) In the 3-dimensional system there is a third number line going from front to back , this is the z-axis. All three axes intersect at the origin , and have the the coordinates ( x,y,z) = (0,0,0)

The y axis
A coordinate plane has two axes and four quadrants. The horizontal number line is called the x-axis and the vertical line is called the y-axis.
