The Cartesian plane has an horizontal number line called the x axis and a vertical number line called the y axis. Both axes are perpendicular to each other and bisect each other at the point of origin which is at (0, 0)
When plotting points the x value comes first followed by the y value as for example the coordinates of say (5, 7) means to move 5 units horizontally along the x axis and then 7 units up vertically and marking the spot. This then is the coordinate of (5, 7) and other coordinates are plotted in the same way marking the spot each time.
If it's a straight line equation then the plotted markings should form a straight line when joined together.

What is used to locate points x y in the coordinate plane?
It is the straight line equation that can be used to locate coordinates of x and y on the Cartesian plane
What is the difference between the Cartesian plane and Coordinate plane?
points of co-ordinates plane are represent by cartesian
What is the difference between the cartesian and coordinate plane?
points of co-ordinates plane are represent by cartesian
How do you locate points in cartesan plane?
The Cartesian plane has a numerical horizontal x axis with a numerical vertical y axis that are perpendicular to each other and points are plotted on the plane in the form of coordinates of x followed by y
What are the 3 coordinates in cartesian plane?
You do not have 3 coordinates in the Cartesian plane. The Cartesian plane is a plane and is therefore 2 dimensional. In 2 dimensional space you require only 2 coordinates. 3 coordinates are required to locate a point in 3-dimensional space but then it cannot be a Cartesian PLANE.
The Cartesian coordinate system describes points on the?
It describes points on a plane.
What are the uses of plotting points in cartesian plane?
They are the coordinates of x and y to plot out straight lines or curves on the Cartesian plane
What is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane?
Why are two numbers necessary to locate points on a coordinate plane?
Do points have length but no height in geometry?
On the Cartesian plane points have coordinates of length and height
What is an ordered pairs that identify points in a coordinate plane?
The Cartesian coordinates.
What is a grid that has an x and y-axis to plot points?
It is the Cartesian plane
What is used to locate the coordinate plane?
Ordered pairs are used to locate points on the coordinate plane.
