  1. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    Illustration of a Cartesian coordinate plane. Four points are marked and labeled with their coordinates: (2, 3) in green, (−3, 1) in red, (−1.5, −2.5) in blue, and the origin (0, 0) in purple.

  2. Cartesian coordinates | Definition & Facts | Britannica

    The simplest way to illustrate Cartesian coordinates is by using a two-dimensional plane. The Cartesian plane is a two-dimensional space with a horizontal axis, typically labeled x, and a vertical …

  3. Cartesian Coordinates - Math is Fun

    Using Cartesian Coordinates we mark a point on a graph by how far along and how far up it is: The point (12,5) is 12 units along, and 5 units up. They are also called Rectangular Coordinates

  4. Cartesian Plane - Definition, Meaning, Quadrants, Examples

    A cartesian plane can be defined as a plane formed by the intersection of two coordinate axes that are perpendicular to each other. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis and the vertical one is the …

  5. Cartesian coordinates - Math Insight

    The Cartesian coordinates in the plane are specified in terms of the x x coordinates axis and the y y -coordinate axis, as illustrated in the below figure. The origin is the intersection of the x x and y y -axes.

  6. Section 3.1: Cartesian Plane - Mathematics LibreTexts

    The rectangular coordinate system is also called the xy -plane, the coordinate plane, or the Cartesian Plane. The horizontal number line is called the x-axis, and the vertical number line is called the y-axis.

  7. Coordinate Plane or Cartesian Plane (solutions, examples, videos)

    The coordinate plane or Cartesian plane is a basic concept for coordinate geometry. It describes a two-dimensional plane in terms of two perpendicular lines or axes: x -axis and y -axis.
