HISTORY
Rene Descartes is a French mathematician and philosopher who introduced the idea of using
two number lines which intersected at right angles with the position of a point in a plane
determined by its distance from each of the lines.
II. Objectives
C. The Origin
The Origin is where the x-axis and y-axis intersects. It is labeled as zero on the plane. Every
movement inside the plane begins from the Origin or point zero.
D. The Coordinates
Example 1:
( 1 , 4 ) is an ordered pair that we can plot on the Cartesian Plane. Once we have plotted the
ordered pair on the plane, it will not be called as a point on the Cartesian Plane.
Example 2:
Plot point ( 2, -3 ).
(2 , -3)

I. Answer Activity A on Page 216 on your Math book. Once you’re done, take a photo of your answer and send it
to Miss Mhean’s Messenger.
II. Answer Challenge on page 219 on your Math book. Show your solution by graphing on the Cartesian plane.
You may use a graphing paper if you like. Take a photo of your answer and send it to Miss Mhean’s
Messenger.
