The intersection point is called the origin.

Quadrants result when a coordinate plane is divided by its axes in fours.
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.
The coordinate plane is divided into four quarters by the axes. These are the four quadrants.
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.
First, a coordinate. A coordinate is a number. It labels a point on a line.Second, a coordinate axis is a line with coordinates.to label a point in a plane (a flat surface), we need more than one coordinate axis, and we place a second at right angles to the first.Those axes are called rectangular coordinate axes, because they are at right angles to one another. The coordinates on them are called rectangular coordinates. They are also called Cartesian coordinates.
