Cartesian Coordinate System -A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates‚ which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines‚ measured in the same unit of length. Cartesian coordinate system is a way of locating objects in either two- or three-dimensional space by specifying their X(horizontal) position‚ Y (vertical) position and Z (through) position. It is used in graphics and in positioning text
