The Cartesian coordinate system consists of two perpendicular axes: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical), which intersect at the origin (0, 0). Each point in the plane is represented by an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' indicates the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' indicates the vertical distance. This system enables precise location and representation of geometric shapes in two dimensions. In three dimensions, a z-axis is added, allowing for the representation of points in space with ordered triples (x, y, z).
