What 3-D is in relation to the Cartesian coordinate system?
The Cartesian coordinate system can be used in 3 or more dimensions.
Why is the Cartesian coordinate system also called a plane?
Possibly because the first time that pupils are introduced to the name and concept it is has only two dimensions. These are usually represented as horizontal (x) and vertical (y) coordinates. Actually, many children meet the concept - in its 1-dimensional form - as the number line. It is not called a Cartesian coordinate system then, and they make only simple use of it. The Cartesian coordinate system is normally extended to 3-dimensional space in high school coordinate geometry when it is obviously not called a plane, and to multi-dimensional hyperspaces in advanced mathematics or physics.
What is the distance between the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system and the point -5 -8?

The Cartesian coordinate system can be used to describe threedimensional space Instead of two axes the coordinate system has three What are their labels?
Hey, With 2 axes its x and y with 3 its x,y and z Toby
What are some applications of the Cartesian coordinate system?
The most obvious is to plot relationships between one quantity and another. If for every thing you sell, you make 3 dollars, then you could express that as the equation y=3x and plot that using the Cartesian coordinate system. (where y would represent dollars and x would represent items sold)
