A graph has two axes that form an L-shape. The axes are labelled 𝒙 and 𝒚. The 𝒙-axis is the horizontal line and the 𝒚-axis is the vertical line.
The x-axis is horizontal, and the y-axis is vertical. One way to remember which axis is which is ' x is a cross so the \ ( {x}\)-axis is across'. Or you can remember’ y is up’ or...
You can determine the scale on an axis with get_scale: fig, ax = plt.subplots(layout='constrained', figsize=(3.2, 3)) ax.semilogy(x, x) print(ax.xaxis.get_scale()) print(ax.yaxis.get_scale()) linear. log. Setting a scale does three things. First it defines a transform on the axis that maps between data values to position along the axis.
The x x and y y axis are axes in the Cartesian coordinate system. They are two perpendicular lines that form a coordinate plane (coordinate grid), where the location of a point on the plane can be represented as a coordinate of the form (x,y) (x,y). The x x-axis is a horizontal line (left to right). The y y-axis is a vertical line (up and down ...

The coordinates are always written in a certain order: 1. the horizontal distance first, 2. then the vertical distance. This is called an "ordered pair" (a pair of numbers in a special order) And usually the numbers are separated by a comma, and parentheses are put around the whole thing like this: (3,2)
You may hear the words "Abscissa" and "Ordinate" ... they are just the x and yvalues: 1. Abscissa: the horizontal ("x") value in a pair of coordinates: how far alongthe point is 2. Ordinate: the vertical ("y") value in a pair of coordinates: how far up or downthe point is
Just like with the Number Line, we can also have negative values. Negative: start at zero and head in the opposite direction: 1. Negative x goes to the left 2. Negative y goes down Like this:
Cartesian coordinates can be used for locating points in 3 dimensions as in this example: In fact, this idea can be continued into four dimensions and more - I just can't work out how to illustrate that for you!

We can see that x x is a positive value for all of the coordinates on the right side of the y y -axis (yellow shading), and x x is a negative value for all the coordinates on the left side of the y y -axis (blue shading).
