In mathematics, ordinate refers to that element of an ordered pair which is plotted on the vertical axis of a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, as opposed to the abscissa. The ordinate is the second of the two terms (often labeled x and y) which define the location of a point in such a coordinate system.
