- The coordinate system shown is incorrectly labeled.
- The horizontal axis is labeled 'x' but should be the x-axis, which runs left to right.
- The vertical axis is labeled 'y' but should be the y-axis, which runs up and down.
- In a standard Cartesian coordinate system, the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical.
- The labels 'x' and 'y' are placed at the ends of the axes, which is unconventional; typically, the axes are labeled near the origin or along the axis lines.
- The arrows on the axes indicate the positive direction, which is correct: positive x to the right, positive y upward.
