The two number lines are referred to as axes, the plural of axis. Normally the Cartesian system has positive and negative numbers on an x-axis (horizontal line) and a y-axis (vertical line).
This is called a Cartesian coordinate system, which is named for the French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650).
They are the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis that are perpendicular to each other on the Cartesian plane whereas the point of origin is at (0, 0)
The origin is where the two intersect. This is where both number lines are 0.
a coordinate plane
They are the coordinates of x and y to plot out straight lines or curves on the Cartesian plane
The axes.

This is False the correct definition is this: The number lines that form a Cartesian coordinate system are called the axes and the point where they intersect is called the origin.
