Cartesian coordinate system

/ kär-tēzhən /

  1. A system in which the location of a point is given by coordinates that represent its distances from perpendicular lines that intersect at a point called the origin. A Cartesian coordinate system in a plane has two perpendicular lines (the x -axis and y -axis); in three-dimensional space, it has three (the x -axis, y -axis, and z -axis).
