For any point, the abscissa is the first value (x coordinate), and the ordinate is the second value (y coordinate). In mathematics, the abscissa (/ æ b ˈ s ɪ s. ə /; plural abscissae or abscissas) and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate of a point in a Cartesian coordinate system: [1] [2]
Standard names for the coordinates in the three axes are abscissa, ordinate and applicate. [9] The coordinates are often denoted by the letters x, y, and z. The axes may then be referred to as the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, respectively. Then the coordinate planes can be referred to as the xy-plane, yz-plane, and xz-plane.
Exceptions include proper nouns, which typically are not translated, and kinship terms, which may be too complex to translate. Proper nouns/names may simply be repeated in the gloss, or may be replaced with a placeholder such as "(name. F)" or "PN(F)" (for a female name). For kinship glosses, see the dedicated section below for a list of ...

Abscissa is denoted as 'X' coordinate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.95.43.40 12:50, 6 September 2011 (UTC) Added a little extra explanation of the abscissa by analogy to an independent variable in a model, and backed it up with a citation. I also gave the image a new caption that actually said something about the abscissa.
Nouns seem to possess a well defined but covert system of grammatical gender. We may call a noun masculine, feminine or neuter depending on the pronouns which it selects in the singular. Mass or non-count nouns (such as frost, fog, water, love) are called neuter because they select the pronoun it. Count nouns divide into masculine and feminine.
There is a similar problem with x-coordinate, more properly called the abscissa. When the "x-coordinate" is really a t-coordinate, why do we still call it the x-coordinate? Because we do. Rick Norwood 22:30, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
In mathematics, the lexicographic or lexicographical order (also known as lexical order, or dictionary order) is a generalization of the alphabetical order of the dictionaries to sequences of ordered symbols or, more generally, of elements of a totally ordered set.
