Because angles, which start at 0 degrees, travel in that direction. When an angle is at 0 degrees, it is located to the right of the y-axis, and on the x-axis. As the degrees grow larger, the angle unfolds to the left, or counter-clockwise.

Parts of cartesian coordinate system?

There is the y- axis which runs vertically through the plane; there is the x axis which runs horizontally through the plane; there is the origin, point (0,0), which is where the two axis meet; there are the quadrants which are the fourths of the plane made by the axis. The quadrants are labeled I, II, III, and IV, starting with one in the upper left corner and increasing counter clockwise. Here's a URL for a picture of it. http://miniurl.com/6307
