Axis name trick


quantity mentioned (the number of prime factors) lies on the
independent variable, or x-axis. (I never could get "ordinate" and
"abscissa" straight.)

If that is the correct interpretation this result is interesting
but unsurprising.

A math teacher taught me a trick here: notice the shape of you mouth as you
say ordinate and abscissa. The latter is a lateral shape, the former a
vertical shape. It finally did it for me.
