About this document
Understanding the Rectangular Coordinate System by Skyler Todoroki is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the rectangular coordinate system (also known as Cartesian coordinates). It involves constructing two perpendicular number lines (the x-axis and y-axis) that intersect at the origin. Every point in the plane can then be located using an ordered pair (x,y) representing the distance from the origin on the x-axis and y-axis. The axes divide the plane into four quadrants used to describe points.
