Question

A coordinate system, or ____________________, is used to locate points in a 2-dimensional plane.

Answer 1

Answer:

A coordinate system,or Coordinate plain ,is used to locate points in a 2-dimensional plane.

explanation:

A coordinate plain is formed by the intersection of two lines.One line is vertical and the other is horizontal.The vertical line is called y- axis and the horizontal line is called x-axis. It is two dimensional plane,which means it has length and breadth but no depth.The point where both the lines intersect is called the point of origin.Any point can be located on the coordinate plain by numbers(x,y). These pair of numbers are called coordinates.

It is used to plot points and lines.This system explains algebraic concepts .it has four equal divisions called quadrants namely I ,II,III,IV.
