The ordinate on a graph refers to the vertical coordinate of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system, typically representing the value of the dependent variable. In a two-dimensional graph, it is the value plotted along the y-axis, while the abscissa corresponds to the horizontal x-axis. For example, in the point (x, y), the ordinate is y.

The name on the graph opposite the ordinate is called the "abscissa." The ordinate refers to the vertical axis (Y-axis), while the abscissa refers to the horizontal axis (X-axis) in a Cartesian coordinate system. Together, they help to locate points in a two-dimensional space.
The abscissa is the x or horizontal coordinate. The ordinate is the y or vertical coordinate. I remember them because they are both alphabetical.
Ordinate & abscissa
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.

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)
"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."

abscissa is horizontal and ordinate is vertical one

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.
if a certain abscissa corresponds to more than one ordinate, then it is not a function.
