The y coordinate is a given number of pixels along the vertical axis of a display starting from the pixel pixel 0 at the top of the screen.

Names of x-coordinate. How far along the point is. Pronounced ab-SISS-ah the c is silent. Not used very much.

Another name for x-coordinate of a point is abscissa The x-coordinate of a point tells how far to move left or right from the origin along the x-axis. So like many things theres a history to why the words came out like that but they really dont make any logical sense. X and y axis.

For each point the first coordinate in the ordered triple is the x-coordinate the second coordinate is the y-coordinate and the third coordinate is the z-coordinate. The x coordinate is the number of units to the right of the origin. Thats well explained but that means the x co-ordinate is an abscissa of a y ordinate and the y co-ordinate is an abscissa of an x ordinate.

I dont have this kind of equations. How I can get a point on the curve plotting when I have only one known Y-coordinate equation ie. This is a typical coordinate system.

In this example the value 12 is the X Coordinate. What we call coordinates are really coabscissas. The rectangular coordinate system is formed by two intersecting number lines one horizontal and one vertical.

Y mx b. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond eg x-axis and x. The x-axis and y-axis are axes in the Cartesian coordinate system.
