It can also be defined as the value representing the distance from the point to the vertical axis (Y-axis), with positive values to the right of the origin and negative values to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-understanding-the-cartesian-coordinate-system\">Understanding the Cartesian Coordinate System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/coordinate-plane\">coordinate plane<\/a> is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of two number lines. One of these number lines is a horizontal number line called the X-axis, and the other is a vertical number line called the Y-axis. These two number lines intersect at a right angle to form the coordinate plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Cartesian coordinate system consists of two intersecting lines, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/x-and-y-axis\">X-axis and Y-axis<\/a>, with their point of intersection at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/origin\">origin<\/a> (0,0).
