Points in planes have distances to x-axis {abscissa} and distances to y-axis {ordinate} {Cartesian coordinate}. Cartesian coordinates use perpendicular axes {rectangular coordinate}. x-axis and y-axis divide the plane into four parts {quadrant, plane}. Axes intersect at point {origin}. In Cartesian coordinates, distance between two points is ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)^0.5. Space points have distances to x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis are perpendicular.
