In mathematics, an abscissa is the number whose absolute value is the perpendicular distance of a point from the vertical axis. Usually this is the horizontal coordinate of a point in a two-dimensional rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. The term can also refer to the horizontal axis of a two-dimensional graph . An ordered pair consists of two terms?the abscissa and the ordinate ?which define the location of a point in two-dimensional rectangular space.
