When did Blaise Pascal create Pascal's triangle?
The triangular array of binomial coefficients (triangle) was discussed by Persian Mathematician Al-Karaji (953-1029) and later invented and implemented by Persian Mathematician/Astronomer/Poet Omar Khayyam in the year 1070. In the 13th century, about 200 years after Khayyam's discovery, Yang Hui (1238-1298) of China "discovered it." Now almost 400 years after Omar Khayyam's discovery, a French Mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) again "supposedly discovers" this binomial triangular array, in the 17th century. So why is this triangle not called Khayyam's Triangle? I'm not sure either, even with significant evidence from Khayyam's Algebra Book. However there is your answer to when Mr. Pascal "created" it.
Why is pascal's triangle named Pascal's triangle?
Mainly for Eurocentric reasons. The triangle was well known more than 1800 years before Pascal. In Iran it is known as the Khayyam triangle (Omar Khayyam , 11-12 century); in China, it is known as Yang Hui's triangle after the Chinese mathematician from the 13th century.

When was analytic geometry invented?
Although Descartes is generally credited with inventing analytical geometry, several aspects had been used by the Greek mathematicians Menaechmus (4th century BC) and Apollonius of Perga (3rd century BC). Much later (11th century), the Persian mathematician Omar Khayyam, used methods which modern mathematicians consider akin to analytical geometry. In 1637 Rene Descartes published his work on the topic but it was incomplete and was in French. It took another decade or so before it was translated into Latin and some of the gaps filled that Descartes' ideas took off.
