    The document introduces the rectangular coordinate system by defining the Cartesian coordinate plane as formed by two perpendicular number lines, with the x-axis horizontal and y-axis vertical, intersecting at the origin point (0,0). It explains that the coordinate plane was discovered by René Descartes and that points on the plane are located using ordered pairs (x,y) denoting their distance from the x and y axes. The objectives are to illustrate how the system works and how to plot points on the coordinate plane.

    Lesson

    Rectangular Coordinate System

    Objective/s:
     Illustrate the rectangular coordinate system.
     Identify the location of points in the Cartesian Coordinate plane.
     Plot points in the Cartesian Coordinate plane.

    Definition:
    Cartesian Coordinate Plane -is a plane formed by the intersection of two number lines, one is
    horizontal and the other is vertical.
    René Descartes – a French Mathematician who discovered the cartesian coordinate plane.
    X – axis – is the horizontal axis, representing the independent variable.
    Y – axis – is the vertical axis, representing the dependent variable.
    Origin – the point where the x- axis and y – axis intersect at (0, 0). It serves as the reference
    point for locating other points on the plane.
    Coordinates – a point in the Cartesian plane represented by an ordered pair (x, y) where x is the
    value along the x – axis and y is the value along the y – axis.
