Definition: The vertical axis in a chart. It displays the range of values possible for the dependent variable to take.

On the Y-axis, Cost is measured at each level of activity. At zero direct labor hours, there is no variable cost; however, total fixed costs will be incurred, in the amount of $30,000. Here is a reproduction of this cost relationship.
Payoff profile The slope of a line graphed according to the value of an underlying asset on the x-axis and the value of a position taken to hedge against risk exposure on the y-axis. Also used with changes in value. See: Risk profile.
This portfolio is along the concave frontier and has the higher ratio : it can be easily found by plotting a line that intersects the y-axis in Rf and that is tangent to the concave set.
To construct a histogram, the classes are usually plotted against the x-axis and the frequencies are shown on the y-axis. In appearance, a histogram looks like a series of rectangular bars adjacent to each other - very similar to a bar chart.
The x-axis of the political J-Curve graph measures the 'openness' of the economy in question and the y-axis measures the stability of that same state.
Now for yet more technical words and technical aspects of technical analysis: There are two methods for showing the price scale along the y-axis: arithmetic and logarithmic methods.
Yields of bonds of the same quality and class (corporates, governments, etc.) are plotted on the y-axis, and times to maturity, from the shortest to the longest, are plotted on the x-axis.
Basically, it is a curve describing the relationship between the consecutive number of units produced (x-axis) and the time per unit produced (y-axis).
A graph that plots the yields of similar quality bonds on the y-axis and the time to maturity on the x- axis. Generally, the longer the time to maturity, the higher the interest rate.
The x-intercept, or y-intercept, or z-intercept, etc., a point where a curve crosses the x-axis, or crosses the y-axis, or crosses the z-axis, etc. EX. A linear equation when graphed has at most one x-intercept.
The function appears in this form because economists place the independent variable on the y-axis and the dependent variable on the x-axis. The slope of the inverse function is ∆P/∆Q. This fact should be kept in mind when calculating elasticity.
It plots the yields of bonds of the same class (corporates, governments, etc.) and quality with maturities that range from the shortest to the longest term. The yields are plotted on the y-axis, and time to maturity on the x-axis.
Bell curve is statistically a large and random sample which, when measured, will produce a bell curve on a bar chart - the scale measurement being along the x-axis and the total occurrences within the sample up the y-axis.
Previously known as the Managerial Grid, it is based on two behavioral dimensions - concern for production, plotted on the X-axis on a scale from one to nine points; and concern for people, plotted on a similar scale along the Y-axis.
(2) Graphically, beta is the slope coefficient of the characteristic line with the stock's rate of return on the y-axis and the rate of return on a market portfolio on the x-axis.
Risk profile The slope of a line graphed according to the value of an underlying asset on the x-axis and the value of a position exposed to risk in the underlying asset on the y-axis. Also used with changes in value. See: Payoff profile.
