5 axis CNC machines are machines with 2 extra axis of movement above normal machines. 5 axis machines simply mean they can move in 5 different planes
X axis = Left and Right
Y axis = Back and forward
Z axis = Up and Down
A axis = Clockwise and counterclockwise rotation (horizontal plane)
B axis = Clockwise and counterclockwise rotation (vertical plane)
the actual machining side of a 5 axis machine is exactly the same as a conventional 3 axis machine using the multi-directional head assembly (where the rotary bits are attached). However, two extra axis can be achieved through the moving table assembly (where the part is mounted) that provides for increased maneuverability. This enhancement reduces set up times and job sizes if all 5 axis utilized. For information on machines such as 5 axis, visit

x = 4 is a straight line that is vertical when plotted on the xy graph, where y is the vertical axis and x is the horizontal axis. A vertical line has an infinite slope; the slope is infinity
X-4^2/5^ + Y+^2/6^2 = 1
Ellipse formula, centered at the origin, where the vertical axis is the major axis: x2/b2 + y2/a2 = 1, a > b Since the major axis is 8, then a = 4. Since the minor axis is 4, then b = 2. Thus, the equation of the ellipse is: x2/4 + y2/16 = 1.

By taking a coordinate system with origin at the center of the ellipse, and x-axis along the major axis, and y-axis along the minor axis, then the ellipse intercepts the x-axis at -5 and 5, and the y-axis at -2 and 2. So that the equation of the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 becomes x2/52 + y2/22 = 1 or x2/25 + y2/4 = 1.
X = 4 is a vertical line, 4 units to the right of the y-axis.
X^2/2^2 + y^2/4^2 = 1
x2/4^2+y2/12^2=1
The equation of a vertical line passing through the point (-4,0) is x = -4. Since all points on a vertical line have the same x-coordinate, the equation is simply x = -4.
