Cartesian coordinate system
 Cartesian coordinate systemtop: two-dimensional coordinate systembottom: three-dimensional coordinate systemCartesian coordinate systemn. A coordinate system in which the coordinates of a point are its distances from a set of perpendicular lines that intersect at an origin, such as two lines in a plane or three in space.Car·te·sian coordinate system (kär-tē′zhən) A system in which the location of a point is given by coordinates that represent its distances from perpendicular lines that intersect at a point called the origin. A Cartesian coordinate system in a plane has two perpendicular lines (the x-axis and y-axis); in three-dimensional space, it has three (the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis).Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | Cartesian coordinate system - a coordinate system for which the coordinates of a point are its distances from a set perpendicular lines that intersect at the origin of the systemcoordinate system, frame of reference, reference frame, reference system - a system that uses coordinates to establish position |
cartesian coordinate system
cartesian coordinate system[kär′tē·zhən kō′ȯrd·nət ‚sis·təm] (mathematics) A coordinate system in n dimensions where n is any integer made by using n number axes which intersect each other at right angles at an origin, enabling any point within that rectangular space to be identified by the distances from the n lines. Also known as rectangular cartesian coordinate system. MedicalSeeabscissaAcronymsSeeconcurrent systemsCartesian coordinate system
