Is the X-axis the horizontal or vertical axis?

Question

I'm doing homework and it wont tell me on the paper.

Answer 1

Horizontal. is X... Vertical is Y and the axis sticking out the page at you is Z.
think of X as the arms to your body and Y as the legs of your body

Answer 2

In maching shop paractice, the X axis is always on the horizontal plane. In a 2-D view, the Y axis is on the vertical plane. In a 3-D view, the Y axis becomes the horizontal plane also, except on a perpindicular to the X axis and the Z axis becomes the vertical plane. Example: 2-D = L X W, 3-D= L X W X H

Answer 3

In cartesian coordinate system, you can think of it this way (as drawn on a flat piece of paper): x-axis is Left-Right y-axis in Up-Down z-axis is Forward-Back (or up coming out of the page // down going into and through the page) (That is why depth axis is probably most descriptive of the above descriptions that you gave) Just to confuse you a bit more, if you are using vectors to describe the location of an object, the following convention is usually used: x-axis is East-West y-axis is North-South z-axis is Vertical (Elevation/ Altitude) or (up-down)

Answer 4

The horizontal axis

Answer 5

The "x" axis is horizontal. The way I remember is that a "y" when you make in in script has a line going down. Therefore, the Y axis is always going down/up, making the X horizontal.

Answer 6

Horizontal

Answer 7

Horizontal

Answer 8

It's horizontal, which means straight across. The y-axis is vertical, that is going up and down.

Answer 9

The x is horizontal,and with the x axis you either go left or right and Y is up or down

Answer 10

Horizontal.
