Figure 7 depicts a left and a right-handed coordinate system. Because a three-dimensional object is represented on the two-dimensional screen, distortion and ambiguity result. The axis pointing downward (and to the right) is also meant to point towards the observer, whereas the "middle"-axis is meant to point away from the observer.
Axis (anatomy), the second cervical vertebra of the spine; Axis, a genus of deer; Axis, an anatomical term of orientation; Axis, a botanical term meaning the line through the centre of a plant; Optical axis, a line of rotational symmetry; Axis, online journal published by The Mineralogical Record
For example, Plücker coordinates are used to determine the position of a line in space. [11] When there is a need, the type of figure being described is used to distinguish the type of coordinate system, for example the term line coordinates is used for any coordinate system that specifies the position of a line.
abscissa-axis (horizontal) coordinate ordinate-axis (vertical) coordinate. Together they form an ordered pair which defines the location of a point in two-dimensional rectangular space. More technically, the abscissa of a point is the signed measure of its projection on the primary axis.
Domain-specific terms must be recategorized into the corresponding mathematical domain. If the domain is unclear, but reasonably believed to exist, it is better to put the page into the root category:mathematics, where it will have a better chance of spotting and classification.

the coordinate on the first or horizontal axis in a Cartesian coordinate system, [10] or the viewport in a graph or window in computer graphics; the abscissa. Axis in the direction of travel of an aerospace vehicle (longitudinal axis) a mole fraction [10] Variable to be determined in an algebraic equation; A vector in linear algebra
axis A special line or linear subspace associated with some family of geometric objects. For example, a special linear complex in 4-dimensional space consists of all lines meeting a given plane, that is called the axial plane of the complex. (Semple & Roth 1949, p.274) Similar to directrix. azygetic Unpaired. Opposite of syzygetic, meaning paired.
