Cartesian coordinate system
text:
In geometry, a Cartesian coordinate system or Rectangular Coordinate System in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of real numbers called coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, called coordinate lines, coordinate axes or just axes of the system. The point where the axes meet is called the origin and has as coordinates. The axes directions represent an orthogonal basis. The combination of origin
