Question

Where is the $x$-axis and $y$-axis located?

Answer 1

Location of the $x$-axis and $y$-axis :

• An axis in Mathematics is defined as a line which is used to mark measurements.
• The $x$ and $y$-axis are two important lines of the coordinate plane.
• The $x$-axis is a horizontal number line and the $y$-axis is a vertical number line.
• These two axes intersect perpendicularly to form the coordinate plane.
• These two axes intersect at the origin which is represented as $\left(0,0\right)$
• The $x$-axis is also called the abscissa and the $y$-axis is called the ordinate.

Hence, In the graph, the dark horizontal line is $x$-axis and the dark vertical line is $y$-axis.
