Cartesian Plane and Coordinate System Introduction: The Cartesian Plane consists of two perpendicular number lines. The vertical y-axis‚ and the horizontal x-axis. These two lines intersect at a point called the origin. This system establishes a correspondence between points in the plane and pairs of real numbers. For every pair of real numbers‚ there corresponds a point in the plane. The Cartesian Plane also consists of four quadrants. The top-right quarter is Quadrant I‚ the top-left is Quadrant
