MCQ

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

A
Meeting point
✓
Origin
C
Triple point
D
None of these

✓

Answer

Correct option: 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.
