x, y, and z ordinates from origin 0, x and y are two dimensional ordinates ie graph axis, z adds third dimension.
eg ordinates for point are say 10, 25, 15: start at 0, right for 10(x), left for 25(y), then vertically off the paper toward you for 15(z)
both turns are right angles

How important rectangular coordinate system?
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.
A rectangular equation that is a function will be a function in any coordinate system?
false
What is a rectangular coordinate system and identify its parts?
It's like cheese.
Where is the origin of a rectangular coordinate system located?
The origin is where the two intersect. This is where both number lines are 0.
What is the point where the x-axis crosses the y-axis?
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.
