Cartesian coordinates in two dimensions, computer illustration. At centre is the origin. This lies at point 0,0, where the x and y axes meet. A point (red) is in position 2 along the x axis and 3 on the y axis. These coordinates are written as (2,3). The two coordinates (x,y) can specify a point anywhere in two dimensional space.
