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.

Which term refers to a geographic area in which people have common trails
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Cultural Region

Explanation:

A cultural region is basically a geographic area in which the people have common traits. The people have always grouped themselves, and the basis for it has been their culture and their physical appearance.

This has resulted in creation of unique traits among different groups of people. That has created sense of unity, which has created strong bonds among the people of a particular cultural region, so even if they do not personally all know each other, they are often willing to fight together for their rights, freedom, or interests, and even give their life for it.

Unfortunately, this kind of distinction among the different groups of people has resulted in lot of conflicts, lot of suffering, discrimination and lot of injustices .
