coordinate plane – a two-dimensional graph created when a horizontal number line intersects with a vertical number line
coordinates – a pair of numbers that indicates the position of a point in a coordinate plane
ordered pair – the point (x, y)
quadrant – one of the four areas in the coordinate plane
x-axis – the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane
y-axis – the vertical number line in a coordinate plane
The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional graph that is created by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis). It is used to locate and plot points in relation to these axes.
Coordinates are pairs of numbers that indicate the position of a point in the coordinate plane. The first number represents the horizontal distance from the origin (x-coordinate), and the second number represents the vertical distance from the origin (y-coordinate). These coordinates are written as an ordered pair in the form (x, y).
A quadrant is one of the four areas in the coordinate plane. The axes divide the plane into four quadrants: the first quadrant is located in the upper right, the second quadrant is in the upper left, the third quadrant is in the lower left, and the fourth quadrant is in the lower right.
The x-axis is the horizontal number line in the coordinate plane. It extends to the left and right of the origin and is used to measure the horizontal distance of a point from the origin.
The y-axis is the vertical number line in the coordinate plane. It extends up and down from the origin and is used to measure the vertical distance of a point from the origin.

There remains, then, only one mode of using great fortunes…Under its sway we shall have an ideal state, in which the surplus wealth of the few will become, in the best sense, the property of the many, because administered for the common good, and this wealth, passing through the hands of the few, can be made a much more potent force for the elevation of our race than if it had been distributed in small sums to the people themselves. Even the poorest can be made to see this, and to agree that great sums gathered by some of their fellow citizens and spent for public purposes, from which the masses reap the principal benefit, are more valuable to them than if scattered among them through the course of many years in trifling amounts.
—Andrew Carnegie, 1889
