Question

Which of the following is defined to be the point of intersection of the x- and y- axes?

A. The xy-plane
B. The origin
C. An ordered pair

Answer 1

Option: B is the correct answer.

The point of the intersection of the x- and y-axes is:

B. The origin.

Explanation:

We know that in the coordinate system or graph the horizontal axis represents the x-axis and the vertical axis represents the y-axis.

Also, the point where both the axes cut each other or intersect each other is called the origin i.e. the ordered pair (0,0).

Answer 2

The horizontal line is known as the x-axis and the vertical line is called the y-axis.These axes intersect to form four quadrants. The x and y axes are perpendicular to one another, they intersect only once, so -x and -y both touch the middle which is called the origin.
B. The origin
