In general,  probably,  your understanding is correct,  but wording is far from to be perfect.

More accurate mathematical wording is something like this 

    x-coordinate of the point (x,y) represents the position of the point with reference to the x-axis, and 
    y-coordinate of the point (x,y) represents the position of the point with reference to the y-axis.

Does your lovely textbook by  Sullivan say something / (teach you)  about it ?

Did you study Sullivan for this issue as thoroughly as we expect it from you ?
