What is Y-Axis?
The Horizontal line that divides the cartesian plane into two equal parts is called the x-axis various properties of the x-axis are,
- Y axis is the vertical line on a graph or cartesian plane.
- It is used to represent the variable(y) in the graph.
- Any point on the y-axis has 0 as its x coordinate.
- Equation of y-axis is, x = 0
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.
