It is the Cartesian plane or grid system whereas coordinates of x and y are plotted on it.
They are the coordinates.
Renee Descartes invented the Cartesian Coordinate system, commonly known as rectangular coordinates.
A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates. These coordinate system can be used to provide geometric interpretations for many branches of mathematics.
You do not have to. You could use polar coordinates, if you prefer.
The cartesian coordinates are plotted on the cartesian plane
The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system are (2, -5) and (-4, 2). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?
Some problems are easier to solve using polar coordinates, others using Cartesian coordinates.
1.Finding the solution to a system of linear equations can be found using cartesian coordinates. 2. Graph a circle and you can find the radius using cartesian coordinates.
( x y z )
Points located in the first quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system have both coordinates ('x' and 'y') positive, i.e. equal to or greater than zero.
The Cartesian Coordinate System was discovered by Rene Descartes.
