Points with integer coordinates are often called lattice points. Lattices exist in all dimensions.
When we talk about lattices points on the rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, this is a two dimensional lattice. Three dimensional lattice points are often used to study crystals.

A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates. These coordinate system can be used to provide geometric interpretations for many branches of mathematics.
A point has coordinates (-3, 0). Where is it located in the coordinate plan?A point has coordinates (-3, 0). Where is it located in the coordinate plan?
( x y z )
The average of the x coordinates of the point(s) is the x coordinate of the mid point, The average of the y coordinates of the point(s) is the y coordinate of the mid point, and so on, through 3, 4 dimensions, etc.
A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system.
