Decide which of the following statements is true and which is false. Give reasons for your answer.
The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).
Solution
The origin divides each of these axes into a positive and a negative semi-axis. The coordinates of the origin are always are zero, i.e. (0,0). Thus, the statement is true.
