Why is coordinate plane is sometimes called Cartesian plane and the myth behind it's invention?
It is called Cartesian after its inventor, Rene Descartes. It is said that he was lying in bed, ill, and looked up to see an insect on the ceiling. He figured out that the position of the insect could be pinpointed by its distances from two mutually perpendicular edges of the ceiling. And so was born the coordinate plane.

How did Descartes think of the coordinate planes?
It is said that he was ill and in bed. He looked up at the ceiling where he noticed a fly. He figured out that knowing the distances from a corner of the ceiling along the two adjacent sides of the ceiling will uniquely identify its location. So, if the corner of the ceiling was the origin and the two adjacent sides were the axes, you have the Cartesian plane.
