In Cartesian co-ordinates, the two perpendicular reference lines are called
Ax-axis and y-axis
BNumber line and origin only
CVertical line and slope only
DSlope and intercept only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. x-axis and y-axis
1. Section 26.1 introduces co-ordinate geometry.
2. A point is located using two perpendicular number lines.
3. These lines are the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical).
4. So option A is correct.
