The Cartesian (not cartician!) plane is defined by two lines (called axes). One of these is called the x-axis or the horizontal axis and the other is called the y-axis or the vertical axis. Each of the axes is a number line and the two meet at right angles at the 0 points on the lines, and the point where they meet is called the origin. The Cartesian coordinates of any point in the plane is an ordered pair of numbers. The first of these numbers gives the distance of the point from the origin along the x-axis and the second is the distance along the y-axis.
Cartesian coordinates can be extended to more dimensions by adding another axis (orthogonal to the existing ones) and adding another number to the set of coordinates.

Which coordinate in the equatorial coordinate system is like longitude in the geographical coordinate system?
a coordinate system is lines of longuitude and latitude that are used in a map to locate something. There is a coordiante in the Equatorial Coordinate System that is like longitude in the Geographical Coordinate System.....what is the coordinate? Celestial Equator?
what is y-coordinate in rectangular coordinate system?
A point's y coordinate is its vertical position, or how high or low it is.
What is the meaning of coordinate index?
Coordinate index ? Sure ! It's easy ... You just have to coordinate your index number !
What are operations of sets?
union of sets,intersection of sets,difference of sets,ordered pair,ordered n-touples,cartician product of setThe basic operations are union and intersection. The complement of the set is also a basic operation.
What is coordinate plane or coordinate system?
graphing tool
What the coordinate is called?
x-coordinate: abscissa y-coordinate: ordinate
What is a coordinate plane that has no breaks in it?
A coordinate plane! If it has one or more breaks in it is not a coordinate plane but only a part of one.
Is a coordinate graph the same as a coordinate plane?
no, coordinate graph is a graph made on a coordinate plane i.e xy-plane

What is the bank coordinate?
banking coordinate
What is another word for coordinate?
They are abscissa (x-coordinate) and ordinate (y-coordinate).
How is a coordinate plane similar to a coordinate system?
The coordinate system can be in any number of dimensions whereas the coordinate plane is a 2-dimensional concept.
What are the coordinate of the origin?
(0,0) are the coordinate of the origin.
Which coordinate in the horizon coordinate system is similar to longitude in the geographic coordinate system?
The North Point
What is the difference between coordinate system and coordinate plane?
The coordinate system can be in any number of dimensions whereas the coordinate plane is a 2-dimensional concept.
What does every y - intercept have in common?
Its x coordinate is 0.The abscissa (x-coordinate) is zero.
What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (4 -1)?
The y coordinate is -1 and the x coordinate is 4
