If the point's ordinate, or y-coordinate, is zero then it must lie on the x-axis somewhere.

Because the x axis is horizontal and the y axis is vertical and they both are perpendicular to each other at the point of origin (0, 0)

The ordinate is the y coordinate of a point and the abscissa is the x coordinate of a point and both axes intercept each other at the point of origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane.
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)
Believe it or not, there are lots of such points.
