The y axis is the vertical axis and a y coordinate is the 'ordinate' The x axis is the horizontal and a x coordinate is the 'abscissa'
The x and y axis cross at (0,0) on the coordinate plane.
In the coordinate plane, the x-axis is horizontal, and the y-axis is vertical.
The x-coordinate of any point on the y-axis is 0. The y-axis is a line perpendicular to the x-axis. Any point on a line perpendicular to the x-axis has the same x-coordinate. The y-axis is the line perpendicular to the x-axis through 0, and has the equation x = 0; similarly, the x-axis is the line perpendicular to the y-axis through 0 and has the equation y = 0.
If the co-ordinate you are talking about is in the form of (X,Y) X is the term on the x axis (Bottom axis) Y is the term on the y axis (The Vertical axis) the total co-ordinate will be where the unit on each axis cross.
