These two number lines intersect each other perpendicularly and &#8230; <a title=\"Coordinate Plane &#8211; Definition, Elements, Examples, Facts\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/coordinate-plane\" aria-label=\"More on Coordinate Plane &#8211; Definition, Elements, Examples, Facts\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ub_ctt_via":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Mithun Jhawar","author_link":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/author\/mithun-jhawarsplashlearn-com\/"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1508"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1508\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31815,"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1508\/revisions\/31815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
