Cartesian coordinates. In the plane, a point can be located by its distances from two intersecting straight lines, the distance from one line being measured along a parallel to the other line. The two intersecting lines are called axes [,] oblique axes when they are not perpendicular, and rectangular axes when they are perpendicular. The coordinates are then called oblique coordinates and rectangular coordinates respectively. 2, record 1, English, - rectangular%20coordinates

Les coordonnées cartésiennes orthogonales sont très utilisées. En prenant dans un plan [...] deux droites perpendiculaires Ox, Oy (axes de coordonnées) issues de l'origine 0, on associe à tout point P [...] ses projections orthogonales [P un] et [P deux] sur les axes [...] 1, record 1, French, - coordonn%C3%A9es%20cart%C3%A9siennes%20orthogonales

Le terme coordonnées cartésiennes (et ses synonymes) a un sens strict qui désigne les coordonnées rectilignes, c'est-à-dire, les coordonnées orthogonales et non orthogonales. Cependant, l'usage a fait subir à ce terme une extension de sens; puisque les coordonnées non orthogonales sont rarement utilisées, le terme coordonnées cartésiennes indique souvent uniquement les coordonnées orthogonales. 3, record 1, French, - coordonn%C3%A9es%20cart%C3%A9siennes%20orthogonales
