Rectangular Coordinate System

The document introduces the rectangular coordinate system, also known as the Cartesian coordinate system. It was invented by René Descartes in the 1600s. The system uses two perpendicular number lines, the x-axis and y-axis, to locate and plot points in a plane. Points are identified with ordered pairs (x,y) denoting their displacement from the origin, where the axes intersect. There are four quadrants formed by dividing the plane around the x- and y-axes.
