What use coordinates?
There are two main uses of coordinates. The common use is to the location of a point in space which may be two dimensional or multi-dimensional. Maps are a good example of this use. Every place on earth has a unique latitude and longitude and that enables us to unambiguously locate places. Coordinate geometry also allows mathematicians to use results from algebra to solve problems in geometry.
