The two dimensional plane made up by the intersection of a vertical (y-axis) and a horizontal (x-axis) perpendicular lines that cross each other once at the zero point mark known as the origin is called the Cartesian plane or coordinate plane. The origin is labeled letter O with coordinates 0,0
The Cartesian plane is used to plot graph lines and points so as to present algebraic ideas in a visual form and to form as well as interpret ideas in algebra.
