An ordinate is the "y" co-ordinate of an ordered pair. e.g. in (3,4), 4 is the ordinate. If you are interested the "x" part is called the abscissa.

Coordinate is the common name. Abscissa is used for the information along the X-axis. Ordinate is used for the information along Y-axis. So abscissa is the x co-ordinate, and ordinate is the y co-ordinate. As they are both negative, then the point must be located in the third quadrant.

How do you use ordinate in a sentence?

Keep in mind that 'ordinate' is a noun and refers to the distance between a point and the x-axis on a Cartesian plane, or the y-coordinate of the point. You could say, then, "The ordinate of point A is (blank)," which would refer to the distance from point A to the x-axis, or if you want to assure that there is no confusion, "The ordinate of point A to the x-axis is (blank)." To my knowledge, that is the only use for the word 'ordinate.'
