The abscissa is the x or horizontal coordinate.

The ordinate is the y or vertical coordinate.

I remember them because they are both alphabetical.

How do you explain abscissa and ordinate?

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.

When you take the slope of a distance-time graph you find?

If Distance is the ordinate(y-axis) and Time is the abscissa(x-axis) then the slope gives the speed. If Time is the ordinate(y-axis) and Distance is the abscissa(x-axis) then the slope gives the Time taken per unit of Distance

In a line graph the horizontal axis is also called the?

"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."


Which graph would best represent differences in size between two variables?

The answer depends on the variables. If the sizes were on a nominal scale - small, medium, large - for example, then a stacked bar with frequencies would probably be the best. Otherwise, frequency polygons or cumulative frequency charts will do.

Can the abscissa and ordinate of the origin have different values in a graph?

The horizontal x and vertical y axes on the Cartesian plane are perpendicular to each other and they intersect at the point of origin whose coordinate is always at (0, 0)
