Explanation:

In a rectangular coordinate system, the horizontal number line is defined as the x - axis. A quadrant is a region formed by the intersection of the x - axis and y - axis. The y - axis is the vertical number line. The y - coordinate and x - coordinate are values that locate a point on the y - axis and x - axis respectively. The origin is the point of intersection of the x - axis and y - axis \((0,0)\).
