the x axis is a horizontal line that intersects the y axis at the origin
in an ordered pair, x is the first number


I is true because they do intersect at the origin
II is false because x axis is horizontal
III is false because x is the first number
IV. is true because it is horizontal and it does pass through the origin


I and IV are true
