The Cartesian system allows you to describe a geometric shape in algebraic terms. This allows algebraic techniques, such as differentiation or integration to be applied to solve problems in geometry. Conversely, geometrical results can be used to solve problems in algebra.

It is the Cartesian plane or grid system whereas coordinates of x and y are plotted on it.
The x-and the y-axes of the two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system divide the plane in four. Each of these is a quadrant.

The parts of a cartesian coordinate system include the origin (point 0,0), the x-axis or abscissa, the y-axis or ordinate, and the quadrants into which the x and y axes divide the plane.
