True or False? On the coordinate plane, the vertical axis is called x-axis and the horizontal is called y-axis.

False. The vertical (up and down) axis is the y axis. The horizontal (sideways) axis is the x axis

It is false that on the coordinate plane, the vertical axis is called x-axis and the horizontal is called y-axis. It's actually quite the opposite - the vertical axis is y-axis, and the horizontal one is x-axis - x goes horizontal and y vertical.
