2. In a coordinate system, what does the point (0,0) represent?
A) The highest point
B) The origin or starting point
C) The end of the graph
D) A random intersection point
3. On a CNC lathe, what does "machine zero" typically represent?
A) The exact center of the machine
B) The point where the cutting tool first touches the material
C) The home position of the machine's moving parts
D) The location of the machine's power switch
