The origin on a graph is the point (0,0).
You can find the distance to a point by applying the Pythagorean theorem:
Square the x coordinate and add it to the square of the y - coordinate of the point.
Now take the square root of your answer.
The result is the straight line distance from the origin to the point.

The point whose distance from the origin is 1.6 units of length.
It is a plane surface with an origin and a pair of orthogonal axes. The location of any point in the plane is given by an ordered pair of coordinates: the abscissa (distance to the right of the origin) and the ordinate (distance in the vertical direction from the origin).
