The y-axis is like a vertical ruler. It shows you where an object on a Cartesian plane, a two-dimensional mathematical graph, is in the y (vertical) direction. It is also the starting, or zero, point for measuring how far a point is to the right or left (horizontally) on a graph.
Q. Is the Y-axis negative or positive?
A y-axis is the vertical axis on the Cartesian coordinate plane. The y-axis starts at negative infinity and increases to positive infinity. The y-axis is also the starting, or 0 point, for measuring how far a point extends horizontally on a graph.

Q. Is Y axis up or down?
X and Y Axis The left-right (horizontal) direction is commonly called X. The up-down (vertical) direction is commonly called Y.
Q. What is an example of Y axis?
An example of an y-axis is the axis that runs up and down on a graph. A similar axis that is perpendicular to the x-axis and the z-axis of a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The vertical (V), or nearest vertical, plane on a two- or three-dimensional grid, chart, or graph in a Cartesian coordinate system.
Q. What is another name for Y-axis?
Also called axis of ordinates. (in a plane Cartesian coordinate system) the axis, usually vertical, along which the ordinate is measured and from which the abscissa is measured.
Q. What is another name for the Y-axis of a bar graph?
On a vertical bar graph, as shown above, the horizontal axis (or x-axis) shows the data categories. In this example, they are years. The vertical axis (or y-axis) is the scale.
Q. How do you remember the XYZ axis?
Take Y to be the acronym of a Yellow Building. Just imagine a tall yellow building. This will essentially help you to remember that the y-axis is the vertical axis whereas the x-axis is the horizontal axis. Math is fun!
Q. What are the 5 parts of a graph?
CARMALT – Basic parts of graphs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 5 components of a good graph are: | TITLE, AXES, INCREMENTS, LABELS, SCALE |
| tells what graph is about | TITLE |
| changing variable is known as _____ | INDEPENDENT |
| Dependent variable is on which axis that is vertical? | Y |
Q. When should you use a line graph?
Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.
Q. What type of graph star is?
A star graph is a complete bipartite graph in which n-1 vertices have degree 1 and a single vertex have degree (n -1). This exactly looks like a star where (n – 1) vertices are connected to a single central vertex.
Q. What is connected graph with example?
A graph is said to be connected if there is a path between every pair of vertex. A graph with multiple disconnected vertices and edges is said to be disconnected. Example 1. In the following graph, it is possible to travel from one vertex to any other vertex.
