The rectangular coordinate system is the basis for how we find locations on a map, for example (even though the earth is actually a sphere, this was a basis). I would say it is rather important.

The origin is where the two intersect. This is where both number lines are 0.
A Cartesian coordinate system, or rectangular coordinate system, is a 2-dimensional coordinate system. The X-axis and Y-axis only intersect at one special point called the origin. This point has the coordinates of (0,0).Wikipedia has particulars, and a link is provided.
The other name for the rectangular coordinate system is the Cartesian coordinate system. You can remember it because cartography is the study of maps, which are generally rectangular.
Rene Descartes developed the rectangular coordinate system.

A point's y coordinate is its vertical position, or how high or low it is.
