Question

A point at which all the three perpendicular coordinate axes meets is known as

• A. Meeting point
• B. Origin
• C. Triple point
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Origin

The three perpendicular coordinate axes meets at one of the point which divides the plane into eight quadrant.

The $1^{st}$ quadrant has all positive points, $2^{nd}$ has $x$ -ve and remaining $2$ +ve points and so on.

Only $(0,0,0)$ is not included in any quadrant and is the intersection point.

Thus, the three axes meet at $(0,0,0)$ from where the eight quadrants originate.

Hence, the point is known as origin.
