• The cartesian coordinate plane is also called the Rectangular coordinate system
• It is formed when two straight lines, called number lines, intersect perpendicularly separating the plane into four congruent regions. - Cartesian Coordinate plane
• Are the four congruent regions bounded by the two intersecting number lines. - Quadrants
• Is the point of intersection between the two number lines, which are called axes, and has the coordinates (0,0) - Point of origin
• is a vertical number line. - y- axis
• is a horizontal number line. - x- axis
• Is the first coordinate or the x-coordinate in the ordered pair. It is the directed distance of a point from the y-axis. - Abscissa
• Is the second coordinate or the y-coordinate in the ordered pair. It is directed of a point from the x-axis. - Ordinate
