Study Notes
Cartesian Coordinate Plane
- The Cartesian plane is a two-dimensional coordinate system.
- It's named after René Descartes (1596-1650).
- The plane is formed by two perpendicular lines called axes.
- The horizontal line is the x-axis (abscissa).
- The vertical line is the y-axis (ordinate).
- The point where the axes intersect is the origin (0,0).
- Points on the plane are identified by their coordinates (x, y).
- The x-coordinate represents the position along the x-axis.
- The y-coordinate represents the position along the y-axis.
