The point where are the two axes meet each other is called the origin.
- In order to locate a point in 2D or 3D space, a system of coordinate axes is used.
- There are two axes in a coordinate plane - the horizontal (or X-axis) and the vertical (or Y-axis)
- These axes intersect each other at a point called 'origin'
- The origin is taken as the point of reference.

Answer :-
The point where the two axes meet each other is called origin.
Explanation :-
- In geometry we have 2-D or 3-D surfaces. When we are referring to a 2-D plane, we take into account two axes, i.e., X and Y. When we are referring to a 3-D surface, we take into account three axes, i.e., X, Y, and Z.
- The point where the axes meet is called origin or the point of origin.
- For now let us focus on a 2-D plane. XX' is the X Axis where OX - positive side on X and OX' - Negative side on X. Similarly, we have YY' which is the Y axis. OY - Positive side on Y and OY' - Negative side on Y.
- X - Axis = Horizontal Axis and Y - Axis = Vertical Axis and O - Point of origin.
