Horizontal Line: Definition, Formula, Properties and Examples What is a Horizontal Line? In Cartesian coordinate system, we draw a vertical and a horizontal line. (1) Y-axis is Vertical and (2) X-axis is horizontal lines on a plane. In coordinate system, meaning of horizon is a straight line that is mapped from left to right. A […]

Vertical Line: Definition, Formula, Equation, Properties and Examples What is a Vertical Line? French Mathematician Rene Descartes trying to solve the problem of describing the position of a point on a plane with the Cartesian coordinate system and the cartesian plane. In Cartesian coordinate system, we derive a vertical and a horizontal line. When we […]

  Four Quadrants on a Graph  We know that the two axes X and Y divided the plane into four sections. These four sections are called the Quadrants (one fourth section). The plane is called Cartesian plane or Coordinate plane or the XY plane.  The plural of axis is axes. The quadrants are labelled with Roman numbers […]

History of Coordinate Geometry The Cartesian system or the rectangular coordinate system was invented in seventeenth century by Rene Descartes, the great French philosopher and mathematician. The coordinate system is also called the Cartesian system. Geometry was well developed to describe the dimension of an object, but it does not describe the position of an object. So, to […]
