What does x and y axis mean in math?
In a Cartesian grid, the x-axis is the horizontal axis, and the y-axis is the vertical axis.
What is made by the y and x axis?
a coordinate grid
What is the grid called that has the x and y axis?
Cartesian coordinates
How do you define x and y intercept?
The x is the slope of a line and the y intercept is where the line passes through the y-axis on a grid.
The origin is on the x-axis but not on the y-axis?
The origin is located at the point (0,0) on a two-dimensional xy-coordinate grid. Because Y = 0, this point is located on the x-axis. Because X = 0, this point is also located on the y-axis. To answer your question, the origin is located on both the x-axis and y-axis.
The point were x axis and the y axis intersect on a grid?
The origin is where x axis and y axis intersect.
What is a rectangular coordinate grid?
a grid in a rectangular shape with a x axis and a y axis.
What does x and y axis mean in math?
In a Cartesian grid, the x-axis is the horizontal axis, and the y-axis is the vertical axis.
Where is the x-axis on a typical x-y grid?
It is the horizontal line that is perpendicular to the y axis at the point of origin
What is made by the y and x axis?
a coordinate grid
What is the grid called that has the x and y axis?
Cartesian coordinates
What is a grid formed by a horizontal line called the x-axis and a vertical line called the y-axis.?
The coordinate grid.
What is a grid formed by a horizontal line called the x axis and a vertical line called the y axis?
coordinate grid
Why is a y axis an x axis on a grid?
Typically the y-axis is the vertical axis and x-axis if horizontal. This is by convention and not required.This is used to plot a binomial (two variable) equation.
What is a grid that has an x and y-axis to plot points?
It is the Cartesian plane
What is the horizontal line on a grid called?
X-axis and the second number is called The y-axis
Latitude represents which axis on the grid?
lines of lattitude extend up the y axis but are parallel to/on the x axis
