Exploring the Coordinate Plane

Identify the origin on the coordinate plane.

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

• The point where the x-axis meets the y-axis at (1,1).

• The point where the x-axis is parallel to the y-axis.

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular.
