Negative abscissa (x), positive ordinate (y).
It is the description of a point in the first quadrant in a Cartesian plane.
If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.
In the first case the point has positive abscissa as well as ordinate, whereas in the second, the abscissa is negative. But nothing "happens". The world does not end!
They are coordinates of points in the first quadrant, as well as on the semi-axes bounding the first quadrant.
