Quadrant 1: Is the positive side of both x and y axis.The four quadrants or x and y-axis quadrants are as follows: Then to represent these points on the x and y chart, using years on the x-axis and the corresponding population on the y-axis as:įAQs on X and Y Axis What are the 4 Quadrants in a Graph? We can see here that the location of each point on the graph is noted as an ordered pair where the x-axis or x-coordinate leads the y-axis or y-coordinate.
To locate any point on the coordinate plane, we use an ordered pair where the ordered pair is written as (x-coordinate,y-coordinate) or (x, y), where x-coordinate represents a point on the x-axis or perpendicular distance from the y-axis and y-coordinate represents a point on the y-axis or perpendicular distance from the x-axis, therefore it is clear from above that x-axis comes first when writing the ordered pair to locate a point. The image below shows the respective representation.įor example: The population of a city from 2015 to 2020 is given in the X and Y graph table as: Years The x-axis is also known as abscissa or x graph whereas the y-axis is also known as ordinate or y graph. The point where the x and y-axis intersect is known as the origin and is used as the reference point for the plane. The horizontal axis is represented by the x-axis and the vertical axis is represented by the y-axis. X and y-axis are the axes used in coordinate systems that form a coordinate plane. Any point on the coordinate plane is well defined by an ordered pair where the ordered pair is written as (x-coordinate,y-coordinate) or (x,y), where x-coordinate represents a point on the x-axis or perpendicular distance from the y-axis and y-coordinate represents a point on the y-axis or perpendicular distance from the x-axis.
