The abscissa is another name for the x (horizontal) coordinate of a point. Pronounced "ab-SISS-ah" (the 'c;' is silent). Not used very much. Most commonly, the term "x-coordinate" is used. The ordinate is another name for the y (vertical) coordinate of a point. Pronounced "ORD-inet". Not used very much. Most commonly, the term "y-coordinate" is used.

What is another name for the x coordinate in math?
The abscissa is another word for the first coordinate in an ordered pair.
What quadrant is a point that has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in?
The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
What is the X coordinate of the point 5 6?
Oh honey, the X coordinate of the point 5 6 is simply 5. It's like asking what color the sky is during the day - it's blue, no rocket science there. So, in this case, the X coordinate is just the first number in the pair, easy peasy lemon squeezy.
What is true about every point on a x-axis on a coordinate plane?
Its y-coordinate is zero.
What is the y coordinate of a point on the x axis?
The y-coordinate would be zero. The y-coord. measures far up or down the point is vertically, so if the point is on the x-axis it has to be zero.
What is another name for the x coordinate in math?
The abscissa is another word for the first coordinate in an ordered pair.
How can you name a point on a graph?
Compare it's position to the origin. The x coordinate is the number of units to the right of the origin. (If it is to the left of the origin the x coordinate is negative.) The y coordinate is the number of units above the origin. (If it is below, the y coordinate is negative.) The point is denoted (x,y) with the x coordinate in place of the x and the y coordinate in place of the y.
Is the ordered pair 5 2 the same point as 2 5 in the xy-plane?
No. In an ordered pair for a point in the xy-plane the first number is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate. (2, 5) is the point with an x-coordinate of 2 and a y-coordinate of 5; (5, 2) is the point with an x-coordinate of 5 and a y-coordinate of 2. Only if the x- and y- coordinates are equal are the points the same point. However, the point (5, 2) is the reflection of the point (2, 5) in the line y = x.
What is the x-coordinate of a point called?
It is called that point...(say, 5, -4) but in the x coordinate. a question may be...Find the x cooriinate of 5, -4, and the x coordinate of it would just be caalled the x coordinate of 5, -4
What quadrant is a point that has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in?
The quadrant where a point has a negative x coordinate and a negative y coordinate is located in quadrant 3.
When a point lies on the x - axis what do you know about its y- coordinate?
When a point lies on the y-axis, its x coordinate must be zero.
What is the x-coordinate for a point on the y-axis?
x-coordinate on y axis is 0
When a point lies on the y-axis what do you know about its x-coordinate?
Its x coordinate is 0.
What is the y-coordinate for a point on the x-axis?
x-coordinate on y axis is 0
You can find the run by subtracting the -coordinate of the left point from that of the right point?
The run of a line segment is the horizontal distance between the x-coordinates of two points. To find the run, you subtract the x-coordinate of the left point from the x-coordinate of the right point. This calculation gives you the length of the base of the triangle formed by the line segment on the coordinate plane.
How can you tell by looking at the coordinate of a point whether the point is on the x-axis or y-axis?
the x coordinate is always before the y coordinate just like in the alphabet
Another name for the first member in an ordered pair?
Another name for the first member in an ordered pair is the "first coordinate" or "x-coordinate." In the context of a Cartesian coordinate system, this value represents the position along the horizontal axis.
