They intersect at the <strong>origin (0, 0)<\/strong>, dividing the plane into four parts called <strong>quadrants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each point on this plane is described by an <strong>ordered pair (x, y)<\/strong> \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first number tells how far to move <strong>left or right<\/strong> (along the x-axis).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The second number tells how far to move <strong>up or down<\/strong> (along the y-axis).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Point (3, 2) means \u201c3 steps to the right, 2 steps up\u201d from the origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty simple, right?

Thus, <strong>Cartesian coordinates<\/strong> were born!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the world, ancient civilizations also explored ways to describe space mathematically. In <strong>ancient China<\/strong>, texts like the <em>Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art<\/em> used grids to measure land and design architecture \u2014 a concept not far from modern coordinate geometry. Today, systems like the <strong>Gauss\u2013Kr\u00fcger projection<\/strong> (used in Chinese cartography) and <strong>Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)<\/strong> (used globally) are both built upon Descartes\u2019 foundational idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Math truly is a universal language.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"317\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Coordinate-Plane.webp\" alt=\"Four Quadrants\" class=\"wp-image-54519\" style=\"width:317px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Coordinate-Plane.webp 317w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Coordinate-Plane-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Coordinate-Plane-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Coordinate-Plane-520x520.webp 520w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Coordinate-Plane-200x200.webp 200w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Coordinate-Plane-120x120.webp 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"understanding-the-four-quadrants\"><\/span><strong>Understanding the Four Quadrants<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants \u2014 think of them as four neighborhoods, each with a unique sign pattern for coordinates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Quadrant<\/td><td>X value<\/td><td>Y value<\/td><td>Example point<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>I<\/td><td>+<\/td><td>+<\/td><td>(3, 4)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>II<\/td><td>\u2212<\/td><td>+<\/td><td>(\u22122, 5)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>III<\/td><td>\u2212<\/td><td>\u2212<\/td><td>(\u22123, \u22124)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IV<\/td><td>+<\/td><td>\u2212<\/td><td>(6, \u22122)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple way to remember the order?
