The axes intersect when both x and y are zero.

Names of x-coordinate. Together they form a coordinate plane. What we call coordinates are really coabscissas. If it is to the left of the origin the x coordinate is negative The y coordinate is the number of units above the origin.

Pronounced ab-SISS-ah the c is silent. They are represented by two number lines that intersect perpendicularly at the origin located at. The center of the coordinate system where the lines intersect is called the origin.

The rectangular coordinate system is also called the xy -plane or the Cartesian coordinate plane after the French mathematician Rene Descartes. The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis and the vertical axis is called the y-axis.

In this example the value 12 is the X Coordinate. The y coordinate is a given number of pixels along the vertical axis of a display starting from the pixel pixel 0 at the top of the screen. The x-axis and y-axis are axes in the Cartesian coordinate system.

So like many things theres a history to why the words came out like that but they really dont make any logical sense. For each point the first coordinate in the ordered triple is the x-coordinate the second coordinate is the y-coordinate and the third coordinate is the z-coordinate. Most commonly the term x-coordinate is used.

Another name for x-coordinate of a point is abscissa The x-coordinate of a point tells how far to move left or right from the origin along the x-axis. The horizontal number line is called the x -axis. The x-axis is usually the horizontal axis while the y-axis is the vertical axis.
