2. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

   The standard orientation, where the xy-plane is horizontal and the z-axis points up (and the x- and the y-axis form a positively oriented two-dimensional coordinate system in the xy-plane if observed from above the xy-plane) is called right-handed or positive. 3D Cartesian coordinate handedness. The name derives from the right-hand rule.

3. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

   In common usage, the abscissa refers to the x coordinate and the ordinate refers to the y coordinate of a standard two-dimensional graph. [1] [2]The distance of a point from the y axis, scaled with the x axis, is called the abscissa or x coordinate of the point.

4. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

   Another common coordinate system for the plane is the polar coordinate system. [7] A point is chosen as the pole and a ray from this point is taken as the polar axis. For a given angle θ, there is a single line through the pole whose angle with the polar axis is θ (measured counterclockwise from the

5. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

   In mathematics, a rotating body is commonly represented by a pseudovector along the axis of rotation. The length of the vector gives the speed of rotation and the direction of the axis gives the direction of rotation according to the right-hand rule: right fingers curled in the direction of rotation and the right thumb pointing in the positive ...

6. Translation of axes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_of_axes

   In mathematics, a translation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system in which the x' axis is parallel to the x axis and k units away, and the y' axis is parallel to the y axis and h units away.

   Also in the study, it was found that the vast majority of dog parents (97.6%) enjoy petting and personal contact with their pup, with 93.7% valuing the “unconditional love” a dog gives you, 88 ...

9. Octant (solid geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octant_(solid_geometry)

   The horizontal plane shows the four quadrants between x- and y-axis. (Vertex numbers are little-endian balanced ternary.) An octant in solid geometry is one of the eight divisions of a Euclidean three-dimensional coordinate system defined by the signs of the coordinates.
