What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0,0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the x-axis represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in the coordinate plane.
