Each of a system of two or more magnitudes used to define the position of a point, line, or plane, by reference to a fixed system of lines, points, etc. (Usually in plural)In the original (and most often used) system, invented by Descartes, and hence known as that of Cartesian co-ordinates, the co-ordinates of a point (in a plane) are its distances from two fixed intersecting straight lines (the axes of co-ordinates), the distance from each axis being measured in a direction parallel to the other axis. (The determination of the position of a place by latitude and longitude is a similar case.) The co-ordinates are rectangular when the axes are at right angles; otherwise oblique. The name Cartesian co-ordinates is also extended to the case of points in space (not in a particular plane) referred to three axes not in one plane intersecting in a point (like three edges of a box meeting at one corner).Hence applied to various other systems, mostly named from the nature of the fixed figure, etc., to which the points are referred; as bipunctual co-ordinates, co-ordinates defining a line or point by reference to two fixed points and a fixed direction. polar co-ordinates, co-ordinates defining a point (in a plane) by reference to a fixed line (initial line or axis) and a fixed point (origin or pole) in that line; the co-ordinates of any point being the length of the straight line (radius vector) drawn to it from the pole, and the angle which this line makes with the axis (as in defining the position of a place by its distance and bearing from a given place). The name polar co-ordinates is also applied to an extension of this system to points in space. So bicircular co-ordinates, bilinear co-ordinates., trilinear co-ordinates, etc. ΘΚΠ the world > relative properties > number > geometry > geometric space > [noun] > division or marking of > axis > of coordinates > co-ordinate co-ordinate1823 1823 G.
