The modern Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions ( also called a rectangular coordinate system ) is defined by an ordered pair of perpendicular lines ( axes ), a single unit of length for both axes, and an orientation for each axis.

The point where the axes meet is the common origin of the two number lines and is simply called the origin.

Choosing a Cartesian coordinate system for a three-dimensional space means choosing an ordered triplet of lines ( axes ), any two of them being perpendicular ; a single unit of length for all three axes ; and an orientation for each axis.

The axes of a two-dimensional Cartesian system divide the plane into four infinite regions, called quadrants, each bounded by two half-axes.

Switching any two axes will reverse the orientation.

* 1927 October 6The seventh CGPM adjusts the definition of the metre to be the distance, at, between the axes of the two central lines marked on the prototype bar of platinum-iridium, this bar being subject to one standard atmosphere of pressure and supported on two cylinders of at least diameter, symmetrically placed in the same horizontal plane at a distance of from each other.
