Answer 1

The point of intersection of the axes is called the origin, • Abscissa or the x-coordinate of a point is its distance from the y-axis and the. ordinate or the y-coordinate is its distance from the x-axis,

Answer 2

Concept

The length of the line segment connecting two points is defined as the distance between them. The length of the line segment connecting the given coordinates can be used to calculate the distance between two points in coordinate geometry.
