:plane
What it looks like: The Cartesian coordinate plane is a vertical line (the y axis) running through a horizontal line (the x axis). It forms a cross which divides the grid that it's placed on into four quadrants. The quadrants are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4, in counterclockwise direction, starting in the upper right corner. The point where the x and y axis meet, (0,0) is called the origin. You can graph points on the line by counting the amount of points in the first number of the coordinate (x) on the x axis, and then the second on the y. For example, the coordinate (1,2) would be one space to the right and two up.
What it's used for: You use the coordinate plane to graph points, lines (a collection of consecutive points), or functions (an equation leading to a set of points or a set of points both of which don't have the same x coordinate [basically, if you run a vertical line through whatever shape or collection of points you have, and it doesn't touch any two points at the same time, it's a function.])

Renee Descartes invented the Cartesian Coordinate system, commonly known as rectangular coordinates.
Why graph on the Cartesian coordinate system?
You do not have to. You could use polar coordinates, if you prefer.

What are the Cartesian coordinates of the vector represented by the keyword "r vector"?
The Cartesian coordinates of the vector represented by the keyword "r vector" are the x, y, and z components of the vector in a three-dimensional coordinate system.

How homogenous co-ordinate system differ from cartesian system?
We assume that the ambient space is equipped with the standard Cartesian coordinate system and specify points by their Cartesian coordinates.The Cartesian coordinates of a point in the plane are a pair (x,y).The homogeneous coordinates of a point in the plane are a triple (x,y,w) with w!=0. The Cartesian coordinates of a point with homogeneous coordinates (x,y,w) are (x/w,y/w).Remark: We notice that the homogeneous coordinates of a point are not unique. Two triples that are multiples of each other specify the same point.The Cartesian coordinates of a point are of type double in the floating point kernel and of type rational in the rational kernel. The homogeneous coordinates of a point in the rational kernel are of type integer. Points in the floating point kernel are stored by their Cartesian coordinates.For points in the rational kernel it is more efficient to store them by their homogeneous coordinates, i.e., to use the same denominator for x- and y-coordinate.For compatibility also points in the floating point kernel have homogeneous coordinates (x,y,1.0). These homogeneous coordinates are of type double.
