Each point in the plane can be associated with an ordered pair of numbers, called the coordinates of the point. Also, each ordered pair of numbers can be associated with a point in the plane. To set up a coordinate system, we can also choose two perpendicular lines, one horizontal, as the x-axis, and the other vertical, as the y-axis, and designate their point of intersection as the origin. Points with x-coordinate 0, lie in the y-axis; points with y-coordinate 0, lie in the x-axis; the coordinates of the origin, 0, are (0.0).
