About this document
Understanding the Cartesian Plane by carlo dasco is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Cartesian plane uses a system of perpendicular x and y axes to locate points using ordered pairs of numbers. It was developed by René Descartes and divides the plane into four quadrants. Any point is plotted relative to the origin at (0,0) with the x-value as the first number and y-value as the second number in the ordered pair. The document then provides an example activity for students to plot points on the Cartesian plane.
