The x-axis typically intersects the y-axis in a coordinate plane at the origin, or 0,0. One can renumber either or both axis, resulting in a different intersection point, but that is usually done only in specialized cases.

The 'abscissa' is the x coordinate on the Cartesian plane and the 'ordinate' is the y coordinate on the Cartesian plane
The origin (0, 0)
It is at the point of origin where the coordinate on the Cartesian plane is at (0, 0)
the y-coordinate is 0.
the x coordinate is always before the y coordinate just like in the alphabet
