A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system.

Is a cartesian plane the same as a cartesian coordinate?
The cartesian coordinates are plotted on the cartesian plane
What are the 3 coordinates in cartesian plane?
You do not have 3 coordinates in the Cartesian plane. The Cartesian plane is a plane and is therefore 2 dimensional. In 2 dimensional space you require only 2 coordinates. 3 coordinates are required to locate a point in 3-dimensional space but then it cannot be a Cartesian PLANE.
Which coordinates is horizontal?
The x coordinates are horizontal whereas the y coordinates are vertical on the Cartesian plane.
How do you convert polar to rectangular coordinates?
If the polar coordinates of a point P are (r,a) then the rectangular coordinates of P are x = rcos(a) and y = rsin(a).
Who invented coordinates?
René Descartes is usually given credit. Hence the name "Cartesian coordinates".
Who invented the Cartesian coordinate plane?
Renee Descartes invented the Cartesian Coordinate system, commonly known as rectangular coordinates.

The x coordinates are horizontal whereas the y coordinates are vertical on the Cartesian plane.
How do you draw a line?
use cartesian coordinates
What is the need for conversion of polar coordinate to Cartesian coordinate?
Some problems are easier to solve using polar coordinates, others using Cartesian coordinates.

Who created coordinates?
They were developed by Rene Descartes (and so are also called Cartesian Coordinates).
How do you convert a complex number from polar form into rectangular form?
If the polar coordinates of a complex number are (r,a) where r is the distance from the origin and a the angle made with the x axis, then the cartesian coordinates of the point are: x = r*cos(a) and y = r*sin(a)
How do you draw a line graph?
