Question

The point at which the two coordinate axes meet is called,

• A. Abscissa
• B. Ordinate
• C. Origin
• D. Quadrant

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Origin

The explanation for the correct option.

The point at which the two coordinate axes meet is called the origin.

The explanation for the incorrect options.

• The distance of a point from the y-axis is called abscissa.
• The distance of a point from the x-axis is called ordinate.
• When the two axes, the x-axis, and y-axis, intersect each other at $90$ degrees, the four regions so formed are the quadrants.

Hence, the option $C$ is correct.
