	Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the Cartesian coordinate system is used to uniquely determine each point in the plane through two numbers, usually called the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point.
		Cartesian coordinate systems are also used in space (where three coordinates are used) and in higher dimensions.
		Using the Cartesian coordinate system geometric shapes (such as curves) can be described by algebraic equations, namely equations satisfied by the coordinates of the points lying on the shape.

	The Cartesian Plane
		The Cartesian plane, named after the mathematician Rene Descartes (1596 - 1650), is a plane with a rectangular coordinate system that associates each point in the plane with a pair of numbers.
		You may also edit the coordinates in the text box, then press enter to show the position of the point.
		The first coordinate of each of the six points will be the year, and we will measure contributions in $10,000 increments, so the first point will be (1,7), the second (3,14.5), etc.

		When I am given the lengths of the three sides of a triangle and am asked to find the area, I have the following thoughts: (1) Maybe the lengths of the sides satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, indicating the triangle is a right triangle; then finding its area is easy.
		(2) If the triangle is not a right triangle, then maybe I can draw it on a Cartesian coordinate plane in such a way that its area is easy to determine.
		I had noticed that the side with length sqrt(13) could be represented by the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of length 2 and 3; so I drew a right triangle on a Cartesian coordinate plane with vertices A(0,0), B(2,0), and C(0,3):

	Introduction to the x,y-Plane (The "Cartesian" Plane)
		The whole flat expanse, top to bottom, side to side, is called the "plane".
		When you put the axes in the plane like this, it is called the "Cartesian" ("carr-TEE-zhun") plane.
		The name "Cartesian" is derived from the name "Descartes", after its creator, Rene Descartes.

		A point on the coordinate plain is always defined as "x,y", which defines the location of the point in relation to the x-axis and the y-axis.
		The origin point of the coordinate plane on the computer is always in the upper-left-hand corner of whatever is being scrutinized.
		So, for my example, the y coordinate for the upper left should always be 0 and the lower right y coordinate should always be 15.
