Apparently, Decarte (the guy who discovered it) was lazy, and decided to just lay in bed when he woke up. He ended up watching a fly walk around his ceiling. He noticed its movement was in accordance with two axis, the x and y axis. He had a eureka moment, and got out of bed and started writing the Appendix on Geometry, his book about the coordinate plane.
