Math Terms Coordinate System is (also called rectangular coordinate system)A method of representing points in the plane or in space by means of numbers; a point in a plane can be located by its distance from both a horizontal and a vertical line called the axes; the horizontal line is called the x-axis; the vertical line is called the y-axis; the pairs of numbers are called ordered pairs; the first number, called the x-coordinate, designates the distance along the horizontal axis; the second number, called the y-coordinate, designates the distance along the vertical axis; the point at which the two axes intersect has the coordinates (0,0) and is called the origin. for example, the usual Cartesian coordinates x, y in the plane.
