Download Cartesian Coordinates System Pictures. Three positions to the right of the origin and three above. Using cartesian coordinates we mark a point on a graph by how far along and how far up it is they are also called rectangular coordinates because it is like we are forming a rectangle.
The coordinate systems and transformations described on this page are all geocentric coordinates.
The cartesian coordinate system is the most familiar, and common, type of coordinate system. The cartesian coordinates can be related to cylindrical coordinates and spherical coordinates. Cartesian coordinate system on a plane is choosen by choosing the origin (point o) and axis (two ordered lines perpendicular to each other and meeting at origin point).
