    Cartesian Plane

    Uploaded by

    Kimmy Airam Ramos
    Rene Descartes developed the Cartesian plane to precisely describe the location of a fly resting on his ceiling. He drew perpendicular horizontal and vertical axes and labeled them with numbers. The horizontal axis was called the x-axis and the vertical axis the y-axis. Locations on the plane are given as coordinates (x, y) where x is the distance along the x-axis and y is the distance along the y-axis. This allows precise positioning that has become known as the Cartesian coordinate system.

    A very famous mathematician called Rene Descartes lay in bed


    SA6

    one night. As he lay there, he looked up at the ceiling in his


    bedroom. He noticed a fly was asleep on the ceiling. Descartes,
    SA 7

    being a mathematician wondered if he could figure out a way


    of stating where exactly the fly was on the ceiling. Obviously it
    has to be a precise description he thought. I can’t really say, “To
    the left” or “Near the right “or “In the middle”.
    Inde
    x
    Intro

    When Descartes looked up at his


    SA1

    ceiling, this is what he saw. A fly


    resting there. He began to think
    SA2

    about how he might be able to


    describe the exact position of the
    SA3

    fly.
    SA4

    x
    Intro

    Descartes decided that if he


    SA1

    drew two lines at right angles


    to each other, then he might
    SA2

    be able to come up with a


    way of describing the exact
    SA3

    position of the fly.


    How do you think this would
    SA4

    have helped him?

    Intro

    Descartes decided to place


    numbers on the bottom
    SA1

    (horizontal) row and on the side


    (vertical) row. He could now
    SA2

    state accurately where exactly


    the fly was on the ceiling.
    SA3

    But there was a problem, should


    SA4

    he give the vertical number of


    tiles followed by horizontal? i.e.
    SA 5

    go up 5 squares and move


    across 4 squares, or should he
    SA6

    give the horizontal number first,


    then the vertical? i.e. go across
    SA 7

    4 squares then move up 5?


    He decided to give the
    Inde
    x

    HORIZONTAL NUMBER FIRST and


    THE VERTICAL NUMBER SECOND.
    Intro

    To help people remember this he


    called the horizontal line X and the
    SA1

    vertical line Y
    (Because X comes before Y in the
    SA2

    alphabet)
    SA3

    So, in this diagram, the position of the


    fly
    SA4

    can be found by moving


    4 units across, then 5 units up.
    SA 5

    These are known as X, Y values and


    are written like this
    SA6

    Position of fly = (4, 5)


    SA 7

    In honour of Rene Descartes, the graph showing X value , Y value of


    the coordinates
    (First)
    the fly is known as the Cartesian Plane (or X Y Plane). (Second)

    plane and assign
    it the appropriate letter. (For example in the previous student activity,
    SA3

    B = (5,3) )
    4. Make a table below your Cartesian plane which lists the coordinates
    SA4

    of each letter in your coded phrase.
