The Cartesian
Coordinate Plane is a
powerful visual tool in
mathematics. By
understanding its parts
—x-axis, y-axis, origin,
quadrants, and
coordinates—you can
describe and analyze the
position of any point in a
two-dimensional space.
Mastering this will help
you graph equations,
solve problems, and
interpret data visually in
both math and real life.
