Answer:

Cartesian coordinate system is used to specify any point on a plane.

In two dimensional plane,the two types of axes or coordinates are
x and
y axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point and every point on axes.

A Cartesian Coordinate system in two dimension also named as rectangular coordinate system.

The two types of axes or coordinates are
x and
y axis.

The horizontal axis is
x-axis and vertical axis is named as
y-axis.

The coordinate system specifies each point as a set of numerical coordinates in a plane which are signed from negative to positive. that is from (
-\infty,
\infty).

In three dimensional plane,
x,
y and
z coordinates are used and in two dimensional plane,
x and
ycoordinates are used to address any point in the interval (
-\infty,
\infty).

For defining both the coordinates, the two perpendicular directed lines
x- axis and
x-axis are drawn.

Now, for example
(3,4) is a point in which indicates that the value of
x is
3 and
y is
4.

It is drawn by moving
3 units right from the origin to positive
x axis and
4 units upwards from the origin
(0,0) to positive
y-axis.
