Answer 1

Hi again Sister Serena;

The x coordinate of the horizontal axis, is also known as the abscissa.

The y coordinate of the vertical axis, is also known as the ordinate.

The way I memorize this is

x and y are in alphabetical order...

abscissa and ordinate are in alphabetical order...

horizontal and vertical are in alphabetical order.

 

In this equation, I believe the translation you are looking for is the conversion of words into formula...

x is the abscissa

y is the ordinate

y=x+2
