  • First, a coordinate. A coordinate is a number. It labels a point on a line.
  • Second, a coordinate axis is a line with coordinates.
  • to label a point in a plane (a flat surface), we need more than one coordinate axis, and we place a second at right angles to the first.
  • Those axes are called rectangular coordinate axes, because they are at right angles to one another. The coordinates on them are called rectangular coordinates. They are also called Cartesian coordinates.
