Answer:

The Cartesian Coordinate System is used to locate a point in space by giving its relative distance from perpendicular intersecting lines (Encyclopedia.com).  René Descartes was the inventor of the Cartesian coordinate system with the help of Pierre de Fermat.  Descartes used the letters from the beginning of alphabet (constants were identified by a, b, c and so forth) and the letters at the end of the alphabet (x, y, z) were used for variables.  These were expressed on the line as equations.  The system itself; first coordinate value (x-coordinate) describes the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the 2nd coordinate value (y-coordinate) locates the point of the vertical axis (y-axis).  The coordinating system helps duplicate geometric figures (i.e. triangle has coordinates of A (3,2), B (4,5), and C (-2,4) and with these coordinates, you are able to duplicate another.

Answer:
The reason why it's so important to know the scale of a map is because, when you look at a map its not only what direction that your going that's important its how long and far or big your surroundings are, otherwise you'd never be able to find your way properly and may result in you getting lost

How much do you agree with the following statement?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
I'd say I agree with this statement. In a certain area, climate change can affect everyone equally. The definition for climate change is: a change in global or regional climate patterns, especially since the 20th century with the recent increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since this happening, everywhere in the world is affected by the increasing and rising temperature. Crops may not grow as well, cattle and game may not thrive as much, etc.

Climate change takes an effect in different countries. The change in climate can affect the way people live their lives. For example, in the Artitic, animals are endangered and going extinct from the rising temperatures. People who live on the coast may have to live their homes because the water level is steadily rising. Animals used to colder weather may become endangered in places like Canada, Russia, etc. Climate change affects many places. 

I hope this helped you!
