Spanish term
la ordenada en el origen
Spanish to English
Science
Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
I know this has been answered here before but there are conflicting answers and I wanted to get "second opinion" (or more!)
It's from a document describing the results of "validation of an analytical method for determining impurities in dressings soaked with salicylic acid, using the liquid chromatography technique"
"Dado que el intervalo de confianza de la ordenada en el origen incluye el cero queda demostrado que la ordenada en el origen no es significativamente distinta de cero, siendo el límite inferior 95% -27.16 y límite superior 95% 9.61"
It seems it's either "the ordinate to the origin" (which doesn't Google too well), or "y-axis/ y-axis intercept" (which seems a long way from the Spanish)...
Many thanks

I think it is used that way, yes. Or, at least, that´s how I´ve seen it Statistical softwares.
Good luck

As opposed to "abscissa".
There's no need to change "ordenada" to "y-axis intercept", which is correct too. The reason you won't find "ordinate to the origin" is because "ordinate" suffices. You may find "ordinate with respect to the origin", though.

y-axis value at x-axis zero value.
