On a graph, the horizontal axis is known as the x axis, and in a set of two-dimensional co-ordinates, it is the co-ordinate which is plotted first.The vertical axis is known as the y axis, and in a set of two-dimensional co-ordinates, it is the co-ordinate which is plotted second.
the ordinate
Ordinate
A six figure grid co-ordinate system is the standard method for maps. This system is used in the Global Positioning System.
The abscissa is the x or horizontal coordinate. The ordinate is the y or vertical coordinate. I remember them because they are both alphabetical.
"The x-axis or the x co-ordinate (also known as the horizontal axis of the graph or its abscissa) is the first element in a pair of co-ordinates. On the other hand, the y-axis or the y co-ordinate (also known as the vertical axis of the graph or its ordinate) is the second element in a pair of co-ordinates."

# Co-ordinate. # Arrange for orchestra.
The vertical axis of a graph is known as the ordinate and the horizontal axis of a graph is known as the abscissa. So commonly when talking about (x,y) as a point on the graph, we refer to x value as the abscissa and y value as the ordinate.
the ordinate
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.
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes.

x is abscissa and y is ordinate in co ordinate geomentry
Draw a graph of a given curve in the xoy plane. Now draw a vertical line so that it cuts the graph. If the vertical line cuts the graph in more than one ordinate then given graph is not a function. If it cuts the graph at a single ordinate such a graph is a function.(is called vertical line test)
