In Mathematics on a 2-dimensional graph, what is the name given to the point of intersection of the x and y axes?
Rotation of axes Rotation of axes In mathematics, a rotation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an "xy"-Cartesian coordinate system to an "x'y<nowiki>'</nowiki>"-Cartesian coordinate system in which the origin is kept fixed and the "x<nowiki>'</nowiki>" and "y<nowiki>'</nowiki>" axes are obtained by rotating the "x" and "y" axes counterclockwise through an angle formula_1. A point "P" has coordinates ("x", "y") with respect to the original system and coordinates ("x<nowiki>'</nowiki>", "y<nowiki>'</nowiki>") with respect to the new system. In the new coordinate system, the point "P" will appear to have been rotated in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise through the angle formula_1.
Two-dimensional graph Two-dimensional graph A two-dimensional graph is a set of points in two-dimensional space. If the points are real and if Cartesian coordinates are used, each axis depicts the potential values of a particular real variable. Often the variable on the horizontal axis is called "x" and the one on the vertical axis is called "y", in which case the horizontal and vertical axes are sometimes called the "x" axis and "y" axis respectively. With real variables on the axes, each point in the graph depicts the values of two real variables. Alternatively, each point in a graph may depict the
