Example 3
easyWhat are the coordinates of the origin on a standard coordinate grid?
Solution
- 1 Step 1: The origin is the center of the coordinate grid where the x-axis and y-axis cross.
- 2 Step 2: At the origin, both x and y equal zero.
Answer
The origin is the reference point from which all other points are measured. It has coordinates and lies at the intersection of the x- and y-axes. Every coordinate describes a point's displacement from this origin.
