What Is a Axes in Math?

An axis is the reference line that is used to measure coordinates on graphs and grids. There are typically two axis lines (axes) on a graph; the y-axis and the x-axis. The y-axis is vertical, while the x-axis is horizontal. When these two lines are together on a graph they are referred to as the axes of the graph.

What does axes in math mean?

Pronounced "ak-seez". Axes often means the "x" and "y" lines that cross at right angles to make a graph.

What is the example of axis in math?

The axis of a solid is an imaginary line passing through the solid, about which the object is symmetrical. For example the axis of a cylinder runs between the centers of end end (base).
