If the question refers to the axes of a graph, their intersection is called the "origin".
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).
The Origin. It is also referred to as the intersection of the x and y axes. Go here for a graphic of the cartesian coordinate system - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cartesian_coordinates_2D.svg
It is at the origin whose coordinates are at (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane
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.
The intersection point is called the origin.
The axes of coordinate planes intersect at the point of origin.
It is either the "origin of coordinates" or (more often abbreviated to) the "origin".
The x and y axes intersect at the point of origin at (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane
Its called an origin.
The coordinate axes are the x and y axes that intersect each other at right angles at the point of origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane.
The axes are at right angles to each other so that a point in the plane, unless it is on an axis, forms a rectangle with the origin and the perpendiculars to the axes. The feet of these perpendiculars are the points from that determine the coordinates of the point.
The ordinate is the y coordinate of a point and the abscissa is the x coordinate of a point and both axes intercept each other at the point of origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane.
Quadrants result when a coordinate plane is divided by its axes in fours.
The coordinate plane is divided into four quarters by the axes. These are the four quadrants.
If the question refers to the axes of a graph, their intersection is called the "origin".
If you mean (0, 0) then it is the point of origin where the x and y axes meet at right angles on the coordinated plane.
