How the heat conduction equations for spherical and cylindrical coordinates were derived?
The coordinates for equations dealing with cylindrical and spherical conduction are derived by factoring in the volume of the thickness of the cylindrical control. Coordinates are placed into a Cartesian model containing 3 axis points, x, y, and z.
Why does m. in abbreviation to slope mean?
Slope is the tangent of the angle between a given straight line and the x-axis of a system of Cartesian coordinates
Who discovered coordinate graphs?
Rene Descartes invented the coordinate system that is most commonly used (where the two axes are perpendicular to each other, and each point is determined by its projection or "shadow" onto the axes). This is why we call them Cartesian coordinates. I believe the legend is that he was observing a fly on his ceiling when he realized he could describe its position based on the lines formed by his ceiling tiles. There are alternative coordinate systems that used in special situations, such as polar coordinates, cylindrical coordinates, and spherical coordinates. Each system has its strengths and weaknesses and each is well-suited to describing certain kinds of objects or functions. Cartesian coordinates, also called rectilinear coordinates, are useful for describing linear/straight objects, whereas the other coordinate systems I mentioned are better for curved objects.
Does the point on the line can have 2 different numbers?
Yes, if you are considering the Cartesian coordinates of a point on a line in two or more dimensions. In n-dimensional space, each point will have a unique n-tuple of numbers associated with it.
Are celestial bodies identified by a 3 axis coordinate XYZ just as terrestrial locations have Latitude and Longitude X and Y cordinates?
Not quite. Instead of being described in Cartesian coordinates such as X, Y, and Z, celestial objects are described in an angular coordinate system sometimes called "rho, theta". These are letters of the Greek alphabet often used to measure angles.We still use three coordinates representing the number of degrees around the ecliptic a celestial object is, and the number of degrees north or south of the ecliptic plane. The third coordinate is a distance. These are similar to the bearing, elevation and range coordinates that you might use in gunnery.
Who develop the mathematical system of Cartesian coordinates?
Rene Descartes.
What is a mathematical way to represent location?
With x and y coordinates on the Cartesian plane
What is scattered plot?
A scatter plot or scattergraph is a type of mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables for a set of data.
Is a cartesian plane the same as a cartesian coordinate?
The cartesian coordinates are plotted on the cartesian plane
What are the 3 coordinates in cartesian plane?
You do not have 3 coordinates in the Cartesian plane. The Cartesian plane is a plane and is therefore 2 dimensional. In 2 dimensional space you require only 2 coordinates. 3 coordinates are required to locate a point in 3-dimensional space but then it cannot be a Cartesian PLANE.
When did the coordinate system come to be?
Cartesian coordinates are named after French mathematician Rene Descartes, who lived in the early 1600s & developed many modern conventions of mathematical notation.
Which coordinates is horizontal?
The x coordinates are horizontal whereas the y coordinates are vertical on the Cartesian plane.
How do you draw a line?
use cartesian coordinates
What is the need for conversion of polar coordinate to Cartesian coordinate?
Some problems are easier to solve using polar coordinates, others using Cartesian coordinates.

Who created coordinates?
They were developed by Rene Descartes (and so are also called Cartesian Coordinates).
How do you draw a line graph?
