View source for Coordinate geometry

'''Coordinate geometry''', also known as '''analytic geometry''', is an approach to [[geometry]] based on the notion of a ''coordinate system''.  The idea of coordinate geometry is often credited to [[Rene Descartes]], and the most commonly used coordinate system is often refered to as a ''Cartesian coordinate system'', as a result. Coordinate bashing is applying coordinates to geometry problems. There are two parts of the Cartesian plane: the [[Abscissa|x-coordinate]] and the [[Ordinate|y-coordinate]]
