Descartes and the Fly Who invented the coordinate plane? Sam knows a math legend that answers this question: René Descartes was a French man who lived in the 1600s. When he was a child, he was often sick, so the teachers at his boarding school let him stay in bed until noon. He went on staying in bed until noon for almost all his life. While in bed, Descartes thought about math and philosophy. One day, Descartes noticed a fly crawling around on the ceiling. He watched the fly for a long time. He wanted to know how to tell someone else where the fly was. Finally he realized that he could describe the position of the fly by its distance from the walls of the room. When he got out of bed, Descartes wrote down what he had discovered. Then he tried describing the positions of points, the same way he described the position of the fly. Descartes had invented the coordinate plane! In fact, the coordinate plane is sometimes called the Cartesian plane, in his honor. Sam likes this story, because it is about flies. Sam spends lots of time trying to find flies, just like Descartes does in the story. But is the story true? Or is it just a legend? The story of the coordinate plane turns out to be a long story, with many parts. It starts long before Descartes, in Ancient Greece. Unit 6: Coordinate Plane Vocabulary coordinate plane x-axis y-axis quadrants origin ordered pairs x-coordinate y-coordinate reflection integers opposites absolute value A plane formed by the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis. The horizontal number line The vertical number line The x- and y-axes divide the coordinate plane into four regions. Each region is called a quadrant. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on the coordinate plane. A pair of numbers that can be used to locate a point on a coordinate plane. The first number in an ordered pair; it tells the distance to move right or left from the origin. The second number in an ordered pair; it tells the distance to move up or down from the origin. a transformation of a figure that flips the figure across a line The set of whole numbers and their opposites. Two numbers that are equal distance from zero on the number line. The distance of a number from zero on a number line; shown by the symbol: 2 P a g e

Components of the Coordinate Plane To describe locations of points in the coordinate plane, we use of numbers. The first number of an ordered pair is called the. The second number of an ordered pair is called the. Order is important, so on the coordinate plane, we use the form ( ).
