The coordinate plane in 2-dimensional space has one point which is the origin. This point is usually denoted by the letter O and has coordinates (0, 0). There are usually two mutually perpendicular axes - one horizontal and one vertical. The first coordinate of any point is the distance of the point, in the horizontal direction, from the vertical axis. The second is its distance, in the vertical direction, from the horizontal axis.
In space with 3 or more dimensions the coordinates are defined in an analogous manner.

What name is used to describe the numbers that give the location of a point?
coordinates
What is the location of a point on a coordinate?
Each point in 1-dimensional or 2-d or 3-d or n-d space has a set of 1, 2, 3 or n coordinates and these, TOGETHER, identify the location of the point.
Describe the location of the point having the following coordinates. nonzero abscissa negative ordinate?
On or below the horizontal axis.
How do you give the coordinates of a point that lies in the interior of the angle?
The coordinates of a point are in reference to the origin, the point with coordinates (0,0). The existence (or otherwise) of an angle are irrelevant.
Describe how to find the coordinates of the image of a point after a 270 degree rotation?
Point A has coordinates (x,y). Point B (Point A rotated 270°) has coordinates (y,-x). Point C (horizontal image of Point B) has coordinates (-y,-x).
What gives the coordinates and location of a point?
An ordered pair gives coordinates and location
What name is used to describe the numbers that give the location of a point?
coordinates
What are two numbers that describe the location of a point on a graph?
The number are called coordinates.
What is absoluute location?
A point on the Earths surface in terms of coordinates; typically in that of longitude and latitude.
What are the geographical coordinates for Amazon rainforest?
Well you must be specific with the point of the rain forest you want. Coordinates are a single, exact location.
What is the math definition for location?
In math, the definition of a location is a point. A point gives a specific position or location on a plane surface.
What is the meaning of a map grid?
A term used in giving the location of a geographic point by grid coordinates.
What city is located in 24s and 47w?
There is no city specifically located at coordinates 24S and 47W as these coordinates point to a location in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Brazil.
What is the location of a point on a coordinate?
Each point in 1-dimensional or 2-d or 3-d or n-d space has a set of 1, 2, 3 or n coordinates and these, TOGETHER, identify the location of the point.
What do you use on a map to find absolute location?
You would use coordinates, such as latitude and longitude, to find the absolute location of a place on a map. These coordinates provide a precise and fixed point on the Earth's surface.
What city has the coordinates of 21 north and 157 west?
The coordinates 21 north and 157 west point to a location in the Pacific Ocean, near Hawaii but not specifically to a city.
How can we describe an objects location in physics?
With coordinates. A reference frame is chosen (a point of origin, and directions), and the position is described with two or three numbers (one for each dimension required), in relation to the point of origin.
