The point from which the distances are marked is called the .

The plane is called the and the lines are called the .

The horizontal line is called the .

The vertical line is called the .

The coordinate axes divide the plane into four parts called .

The point of intersection of the axes is called the .

The distance of a point from the y - axis is called its .

The distance of the point from the x-axis is called its .

If the abscissa of a point is x and the ordinate is y, then (x, y) are called the of the point.

The coordinates of the are (0, 0).

The coordinates of a point on the are of the form (x, 0) and that of the point on the are (0, y).

The coordinates of a point are of the form (– , +) in the quadrant.

The coordinates of a point are of the form (+ , +) in the quadrant.

The coordinates of a point are of the form (+, –) in the quadrant.

The coordinates of a point are of the form (–, –) in the quadrant.
