The abscissa is the X coordinate of a point, so a point on the Y axis has an abscissa of zero.
The word abscissa can either refer the horizontal axis (the x-axis) in a cartesian coordinate system or the actual coordinate plotted on the horizontal axis.
The independent data goes on the x-axis. The x-axis is the abscissa and the vertical y-axis is the ordinate.
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'
