Abscissa and ordinate Abscissa and ordinate In mathematics, the abscissa (; plural "abscissae" or "abscissæ" or "abscissas") and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a coordinate system. The abscissa of a point is the signed measure of its projection on the primary axis, whose absolute value is the distance between the projection and the origin of the axis, and whose sign is given by the location on the projection relative to the origin (before: negative; after: positive). The ordinate of a point is the signed measure of its projection on the secondary axis, whose absolute value
Threshold graph a path on three vertices. The graph of the figure can be represented as formula_18 Threshold graphs are a special case of cographs, split graphs, and trivially perfect graphs. Every graph that is both a cograph and a split graph is a threshold graph. Every graph that is both a trivially perfect graph and the complementary graph of a trivially perfect graph is a threshold graph. Threshold graphs are also a special case of interval graphs. All these relations can be explained in terms of their characterisation by forbidden induced subgraphs. A cograph is a graph with no induced path
