    The Cartesian Plane allows for the precise location of points in space by using a grid of perpendicular axes, with coordinates plotted by distances from the intersection. Descartes devised this method to simplify geometry and make algebraic equations visually representable, enabling others to understand his revolutionary ideas linking algebra and geometry. The x-axis and y-axis create a coordinate system to locate any point through its distances from the origin.
