  • In a standard Cartesian coordinate system, the vertical line is known as the y-axis.
  • To plot the point (3, 5), you move 3 units along the x-axis and 5 units up the y-axis.
  • The chart shows temperature on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
  • The function's graph intersects the y-axis at the point where x equals zero.
  • What does the scale on the y-axis represent in this bar graph?
  • We need to transform the coordinates so that the model's top aligns with the positive y-axis.
  • In our experiment, we plotted voltage on the y-axis against current on the x-axis.
  • You might need to adjust the range of the y-axis to see the smaller fluctuations in the data.
  • The parabola is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
  • The graph he drew had population growth scaled along the y-axis.
