On a map that shows only a small part of the Earth's surface, the coordinate grid
looks like Cartesian " X and Y " coordinates. But as the map shows more and more
of the Earth, it starts to become apparent that the "lines" of latitude and longitude
actually represent polar coordinates on a sphere of constant radius.
On a map that's sufficiently accurate, your first clue is this: Carefully measure the
distance between two of the 'vertical' lines, at the bottom of the map, and then
measure the distance between the same two lines at the top of the map. The two
measurements are slightly different, because on a map of the full Earth, the 'vertical'
lines all meet, at the north and south poles.
The combination of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis is called a Cartesian coordinate system, or in short, a graph.
cosine, sin* * * * *No. They are the horizontal or x-coordinate, called the abscissa; and the vertical or y-coordinate, called the ordinate.
a coordinate system
The z axis in the vertical axis in the Cartesian Coordinate System.
In the system of Cartesian coordinates in geometry, the x-coordinate is the location in the horizontal direction (nominally left and right) while the y-coordinate is in the vertical direction (up and down). The line along which x values are measured is the x-axis. An x-coordinate to the left of center (zero) is negative, and to the right is positive. (In three dimensions, the x and y form a horizontal plane and the z coordinate is measured along the vertical axis.)
Horizontal is X-Axis and Vertical is Y-Axis.

"The" vertical line is wrong; there are lots of vertical lines on a coordinate plane. In the usual x-y coordinate system, such a line has an equation of the form:x = a (for some constant "a"); for example: x = 3

One part of a coordinate system. More than this is required.

The z axis in the vertical axis in the Cartesian Coordinate System.
In the co-ordinate plane The horizontal number line is the 'x-axis'. The vertical number line is the y-axis. They intersect at the 'origin' ; coordinate (0,0) In the 3-dimensional system there is a third number line going from front to back , this is the z-axis. All three axes intersect at the origin , and have the the coordinates ( x,y,z) = (0,0,0)
Its 2. The horizontal axes and the vertical axes. god bless you.
A grid with a horizontal axis and a vertical axis that intersect at a point is called a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes are perpendicular to each other and therefore form four right angles at the point at which they intersect, known as the origin.
