Question

The coordinates of the point of intersection of x-axis and y-axis is (0, 0). State true or false.

Answer 1

Hint: The x-axis and y-axis are the part of the Cartesian coordinate system, which is also called the rectangular coordinate system. These two axes are perpendicular to each other and other points on the system can be traced with the help of these two axes. These two lines i.e. line x-axis and line y-axis contain a real number system extending from infinity in both directions and when they intersect they form four quadrants resulting in the four possible combination of x and y in point (x ,y).

Complete step-by-step answer:

In the Cartesian coordinate system horizontal line is known as the x- axis and the vertical line is known as y-axis. X-axis and y-axis intersects to form four separate quadrants. As these lines are perpendicular to each other, they intersect at only one point. This point is known as origin. Coordinates are described as (x, y) where x is the value of that point with respect to the x-axis and y is the value of point with respect to y-axis. As these two axes form a standard coordinate system and perpendicular to each other, they both intersect at (0, 0).

Hence, the solution is (0, 0).

Note:
Students must have basic knowledge about coordinate systems. Every diagram, line, point in coordinate geometry can be drawn on a coordinate plane using a coordinate system which was invented by French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes. This system is used in every branch of technology and science as it represents two dimensional and three dimensional designing and modelling.
