👉 Axes in mathematics refer to two perpendicular lines on a coordinate plane that are used to determine the position of points. These lines divide the plane into four quadrants, which can be defined based on their orientation relative to the x-axis and y-axis. An axis is also known as an axis of symmetry, as it divides the curve or surface into two halves symmetrically about its symmetry axis (the z-axis for a three-dimensional object). In other words, axes are used to locate points along a coordinate
