Rectangular Coordinate System

In a rectangular coordinate system, each point based on the pair of coordinates is specified uniquely in the plane. From two fixed perpendicular lines, these coordinates are at a distance in the rectangular coordinate system. Each line is known as the reference axis and axes as plural. The point where they meet is called the origin (0,0).
