An axis is a fixed reference line around which figures are drawn, and which is used for plotting the coordinates. In a coordinate system, the horizontal axis is known as the x-axis, and the vertical axis is known as the y-axis. The plural of axis, axes, refers to the \u201cx\u201d and \u201dy\u201d axes that intersect each other at a right angle on a graph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Look at the image below to understand the x-axis and y-axis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/x-and-y-axes-on-a-coordinate-plane.png\" alt=\"x and y axes on a coordinate plane\" class=\"wp-image-32613\" title=\"x and y axes on a coordinate plane\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/x-and-y-axes-on-a-coordinate-plane.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/x-and-y-axes-on-a-coordinate-plane-300x285.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"1-what-is-the-plural-of-axis\">What Is the Plural of Axis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The plural form of axis is<strong> <\/strong>axes. It is the collective term used to describe the horizontal line (x-axis) and vertical line (y-axis) on a coordinate plane. Axes (plural of axis) are the lines that help measure data on a graph\u2019s grid lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-definition-of-axis\">Definition of Axis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Axis refers to one axis, and to talk about x-axis and y-axis we use the plural form \u201caxes.\u201d We now know that axes is the <strong>plural of axis. <\/strong>According to the <strong>axis definition in math, <\/strong>we refer to an axis as the lines that can be used to measure different coordinates on a graph or a grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The definition of axes is self-sufficient in understanding the meaning of different axes and their purpose on the Cartesian plane.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-the-vertical-axis-and-the-horizontal-axis\">The Vertical Axis and the Horizontal Axis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/vertical-and-horizontal-axis.png\" alt=\"Vertical and horizontal axis\" class=\"wp-image-32615\" title=\"Vertical and horizontal axis\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/vertical-and-horizontal-axis.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/vertical-and-horizontal-axis-300x295.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">When we draw axes (<strong>plural of axis)<\/strong> on graph paper, we draw one vertical axis and one horizontal axis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We call the vertical axis the y-axis, whereas the horizontal axis is the x-axis. Both the x-axis and the y-axis meet each other at a point, which is called the origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">On a graph, the two axes (plural of axis),<strong> <\/strong>the x-axis and y-axis, can be plotted with the help of a ruler.

A coordinate point is like a dot on the Cartesian Coordinate plane. Every coordinate is designated using both axes (plural of axis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The x value will tell us the location of the coordinate on the x-axis, and the y value will tell us the location of the coordinate on the y-axis. A coordinate point is written in brackets, with a comma separating the two values. The x-axis value is written first, followed by the value of the y-axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/coordinate-point.png\" alt=\"Coordinate point\" class=\"wp-image-32616\" title=\"Coordinate point\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/coordinate-point.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/coordinate-point-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Another traditional definition of an axis in math is a line used as a reference to represent a position, rotation, or symmetry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Example: Let\u2019s represent a point (6, 4) on a coordinate plane using the two axes.
