How will you describe the position of a table lamp on your study table to another person?
Positions of different types of things or given data can be explained by using the coordinate geometry.
Let's $X$ and $Y$ axis are meeting perpendicularly and the position of different object can be written as in the form of the points given by the $X$ and $Y$ coordinates.
Therefore, to describe the position of a table lamp placed on the table, let us consider the table lamp as $P$ and the table as a plane and follow the steps:
1. At first, let us choose two perpendicular edge of the table and name them axes $OX$ and $OY$.
2. Now, measure the perpendicular distance ‘$a\ cm$' of the lamp from $OY$.
3. Measure the perpendicular distance ‘$b\ cm$ of $P( lamp)$ from $OX$.
Thus, the position of the table lamp $P$ is described by the ordered pair $( a,\ b)$.
