Yes.
All you need is three mutually perpendicular axes (instead of two). To visualise this, look at the corner of a room. There will be three lines coming together at the corner: floor and one wall, floor and another wall, and the two walls. These three lines would act as your axes to describe the 3-d space of the room. The axes are usually labelled x, y and z.
Mathematicians (and physicists) have no problem in dealing with coordinate systems in 4 or more dimensions.

Another name for a coordinate plane is a Cartesian plane. It is named after the mathematician and philosopher RenΓ© Descartes, who introduced the concept of using two perpendicular number lines to locate points in space. The horizontal line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis. Points are located on the plane using ordered pairs (x, y).
-1
It is located on y-axis.
The center of a coordinate plane is called the origin. The origin is the ordered pair (0,0).

Yes, the Cartesian coordinate system is routinely extended to 3 and more dimensions. In 3-d the location of each point is determined by an ordered triple, usually denoted (x,y,z), with corresponding extensions to more dimensions.
The center of the cartesian coordinate plane is called the origin and is located at the point (0,0), where the x and y axis meet.
On the Cartesian plane it is located at the coordinate of (0, -5)
Points located in the first quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system have both coordinates ('x' and 'y') positive, i.e. equal to or greater than zero.

Given only the coordinates of that point, one can infer that the point is located 10 units to the right of the y-axis and 40 units above the x-axis, on the familiar 2-dimensional Cartesian space.
