Cartesian system
The system of fixing a point with the help of two measurements, vertical and horizontal is known as Cartesian system
Important points
1) The horizontal axis is called X-axis
2) The vertical axis is called the Y-axis
3) O is the origin
4) Any point is depicted by distance from both the axis
5) The horizontal distance is called the x-coordinate
6) The vertical distance is called the y -coordinate
Example
Find the coordinates of the each of the point in the given below figure
Solution
A( 4,5)
