Positive and Negative X-Axis
The X axis is a horizontal line that runs from left to right on the Cartesian plane. The right-hand side of the origin is considered the positive X axis (+X), while the left-hand side is the negative X axis (-X). The X axis divides the plane into two halves, known as quadrant
Points on X Axis
All points on the X axis have a Y-coordinate of zero since they lie on a horizontal line. These points are represented in the form of (x, 0), where x is the X-coordinate. Equation of X Axis
X and Y Axis
X and Y Axis are the foundation of the Cartesian coordinate system as well as graphs in mathematics. The x-axis and y-axis are crucial components of the coordinate plane, with the x-axis serving as a horizontal number line and the y-axis as a vertical number line. They intersect at right angles to create the coordinate plane. The x-axis is referred to as the abscissa, while the y-axis is known as the ordinate.
In this article, we will explore both the X-axis and well Y-axis in varying detail. Other than that, we will also learn equations of the x and y axis, and learn how to plot the point on either the x-axis or y-axis or in the cartesian coordinate as well.
