Yes it is!
No, the origin of an object does not always have to be at zero on a number line. The origin is typically defined as the point where the axes intersect, which is usually at zero on a number line. However, in certain contexts or coordinate systems, the origin can be placed at a different point for convenience or to better represent the data being analyzed. It is important to consider the specific mathematical or physical situation when determining the location of the origin on a number line.
You're thinking of the origin. The origin is the point (0,0)
The word "origin" means the point (0, 0) on the x-y plane. The meaning of the phrase "origin of an object" is much less certain.
