No the x axis is the abscissa and the y axis the ordinate.

What is the x coordinate of the point given below?

I cannot see the graph. I'm assuming the point is on a coordinate graph. Without seeing the graph, the x coordinate cannot be found but I can give a little advice. When reading coordinates, the x coordinate (or x-ordinate to be exact) is the first number in the ordered pair (x,y). To remember this, think alphabetically, x comes before y. On a coordinate plane, to find the x-ordinate you need to count how far left/right the point is from y axis (up /down axis). Given graph paper makes this easier. If you do not have graph paper, draw a line straight up and down from the point until your line reaches the x axis (left/right axis) and then read the number where your line intersects the x-axis, this is your x ordinate. If your point is to the right of the y-axis, the x ordinate would be positive; if to the left of the y-axis, your x-ordinate would be negative; if your point is on the y axis; your x-ordinate is 0.


What is the abscissa of a point on the x-axis?

The 'abscissa' is the x coordinate on the Cartesian plane and the 'ordinate' is the y coordinate on the Cartesian plane


Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the y-axis?

In 2-dimensional co-ordinate geometry, a line parallel to the y axis has the equation x = c where c is a constant.


Name all the co-ordinate?

abcissa - x co-ordinate ordinate - y co-ordinate in two dimensional co-ordinate system


What does x and y- coordinate mean?

x is abscissa and y is ordinate in co ordinate geomentry
