The Cartesian coordinate system is a method for describing points using two perpendicular axes: the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis, which meet at a point called the origin. Every point in the plane is represented by an ordered pair (x, y), where x tells you how far to move left or right from the origin, and y tells you how far to move up or down. This system is especially useful for problems involving straight lines, rectangular shapes, and algebraic equations. It can also be extended
