For Cartesian coordinates in n-dimensional space there are n axes which are [usually] orthogonal and which meet at a single point called the origin. The coordinates of any point in the n-space are defined by ordered n-tuples whose terms refer to the distances of the point, from the origin, along each of the axes.

How do you calculate cartesian coordinate system?

cartesian coordinate isn't a system. the graphs you put on the cartesian coordinate plane can be systems. these graphs can be anything you want them to be. and they are calculate different every time. the thing to remember about cartesian coordinate planes is the you plot the points of (x,y)


What does coordinate plan mean?

As a mathematical question this would refer to a choice of normally one of two popular coordinate systems, the Cartesian and the polar.


Who discovered cartesian coordinate system?

What is the cartesian coordnate system?

The cartesian coordinate system is the basic coordinate system people are familiar with. If you were to plot a basic X Y graph, where X and Y increase towards infinity, you are graphing in the cartesian coordinate system. There are a few other popular coordinate systems for more advanced math, but they are rarely used by most people. (polar coordinate system is common for some calculus equations)
