y axis

The vertical axis in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, typically used to represent the dependent variable.
Noun
pl: y axes

This term is a technical designation used primarily in mathematics, physics, and data visualization. It describes the vertical dimension of a graph, contrasting with the x axis, which represents the horizontal dimension. In most scientific contexts, the y axis is reserved for the dependent variable, the factor being measured or tested.

Because it is a compound noun consisting of a letter and a noun, it follows standard English pluralization rules. While it is almost always used in the singular when referring to a single coordinate system, the plural form is used when discussing multiple graphs or multi-dimensional spaces.
