The Cartesian plane is a 2 dimensional space of infinite extent in all directions. It has two axes at right angles to each other with a positive direction assigned to each. The axes intersect at a point called the origin. Every point in the plane can be uniquely identified by its distance from the origin along the two axes.

The Cartesian plane allows problems in geometry can be reformulated in algebraic terms and this allows algebraic tools to be applied to geometric problems. Conversely, algebraic problems can presented in geometric form and geometric tools used to solve them.

The Cartesian plane can be extended to 3 or more dimensions, where it makes use of Cartesian coordinates.
