It is the point, denoted by (0,0) from which all distances are measured. They are measured in a pair or orthogonal directions, that is, two directions that are perpendicular to each other. Conventionally, one is termed horizontal and the measure of the distance along that direction is denoted by x. The other axis is termed vertical and measures along it are denoted by y.
