The X and Y axes on a graph are called the abscissa and ………what?
Abscissa and ordinate 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). Usually these are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of a point in a two-dimensional rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. The terms can also refer to the horizontal and vertical axes respectively (typically "x"-axis and "y"–axis) of a two-dimensional graph. An ordered pair consists of two terms—the abscissa (horizontal, usually "x") and the ordinate (vertical, usually "y")—which define the location of a point in two-dimensional rectangular space. Though the word "abscissa"
Two-dimensional graph Two-dimensional graph A two-dimensional graph is a set of points in two-dimensional space. If the points are real and if Cartesian coordinates are used, each axis depicts the potential values of a particular real variable. Often the variable on the horizontal axis is called "x" and the one on the vertical axis is called "y", in which case the horizontal and vertical axes are sometimes called the "x" axis and "y" axis respectively. With real variables on the axes, each point in the graph depicts the values of two real variables. Alternatively, each point in a graph may depict the
