Second Quarter
RECTANGULAR COORDINATE SYSTEM
Do you know how Google Maps, Waze and even the oldest map was patterned from? You will find out in this
lesson.
I. Overview

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

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to: 

1. Plot the points on the Cartesian Coordinate Plane.


2. Give coordinates of a point on the plane.
3. Appreciate the applications of the coordinate system in real life situations.

III. Discussion of Content

Coordinates The figure on the left is the Rectangular


Coordinate System. It is also referred to as
Axes the Cartesian Coordinate System or
simply Coordinate Plane or Cartesian
Plane.

This coordinate system has many parts:


Quadrant II Quadrant I
A. The Axes

This is the Rectangular Coordinate


System. It is composed of a horizontal and
vertical number lines called x-axis and y-
axis respectively.
Origin
These axes can extend to infinity which is
Quadrant III why the ends of the axes have arrows.
Quadrant IV
B. The Quadrants

The Cartesian Plane is divided into four


parts or regions namely Quadrant I, II, III,
and IV. On the figure on the left, you will see
the locations of each quadrant.

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

The top and right side of the origin is


composed of positive coordinates. Quadrant II Quadrant I
(- , +) (+ , +)
The bottom and left side of the origin is
composed of negative coordinates

An ordered pair (x , y) is a combination


of an x coordinate and y coordinate.

Quadrant III Quadrant IV


(- , -) (+ , -)

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.

To plot the point ( 1 , 4 ), simply move 1 (1 , 4)


place to the right of the x-axis and 4
places upwards the y-axis.

We moved 1 place to the right of the


x-axis because 1 is the x-coordinate in
point ( 1, 4 ). We move right if the
x-coordinate is positive, but we move
left if it is negative.

We moved 4 places upwards the y-axis


because 4 is the y-coordinate in point
( 1, 4 ). We move upwards if the
y-coordinate is positive, but we move
downwards if it is negative.

Then, we plot the point.

Example 2:

Plot point ( 2, -3 ).

1. Move 2 places to the right of the x-


axis.
2. Then, move 3 places down the y-
axis.
3. Plot the point and label.

(2 , -3)

IV. Self-Check Test and Evaluation Activities

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.
