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.
