Of course. If you have a function that climbs very steeply and you want to show its shape, you can number the Y axis in increments of 1000 and the X in increments of 1. This will, of course, make the curve appear 1000 times flatter visually.
Also, the two axes may not necessarily even measure the same thing. On any newspaper financial page, you will find a graph with the X axis numbered to represent time and the Y to represent a stock index price.

What is the name given to the point where the x and y axes meet?
The X and Y axes meet at the origin.
If a piece of paper is a plane in the X and Y axes and the Z axis is a pencil that stabbed straight down through the paper at the point where the X and Y axes meet then the coordinates of the center?
The X and Y axes meet at 0,0. X,Y, Z intersect at 0,0,0.
What are the quadrants on the cooridinate plane?
They are the four parts of the plane formed by the axes, They are numbered anti-clockwise from North East so that North East = I: x > 0, y > 0 North West = II: x < 0, y > 0 South West = III: x < 0, y < 0 South East = IV: x > 0, y < 0 Points with x = 0 or y = 0 lie on an axis (or axes) and do not belong to any single quadrant.
Which is the x axes and y axes on a bar chart?
X axis goes across (horizontal) Y axis is up and down (vertical)
Intersection of x and y axes?
Origin.
