Axis Graphs and Coordinate Grids Quiz

The purpose of an axis graph is to provide a layout for plotting data and to show the intersection of the X and Y axes.

The X axis is the horizontal line and the Y axis is the vertical line.

An ordered pair (X,Y) represents a point on a graph, where X is the horizontal value and Y is the vertical value.
