The vertical line is known as the y axis. It is nothing more than a measuring stick to count how far up or down a point is from the horizontal line. The horizontal line, then, is known as the x axis and measures the distance left or right from the vertical line.
X-axis (mark on coordinate plane below. Draw as a man running across the line, remind them you walk into a building first before going up or down the elevator) the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where points are plotted moving left and right. Y-axis (mark on the coordinate plane below. Draw an uppercase Y on top of the plane, itâs tail will create the axis. Remind students that you go into a building first, before going up or down the elevator) the vertical line on a coordinate plane where points are plotted moving up and down.
