Textbook Question

Chapter 9.3, Problem 1E

Describe in words the directions you move on the rectangular coordinate system to plot the point ( 2 , − 1 ) .

System that uses coordinates to uniquely determine the position of points. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian system, where points are given by distance along a horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis from the origin. A polar coordinate system locates a point by its direction relative to a reference direction and its distance from a given point. In three dimensions, it leads to cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
