⭐ Core Definition: Real coordinate plane

In mathematics, the real coordinate space or real coordinate n-space, of dimension n, denoted R or , is the set of all ordered n-tuples of real numbers, that is the set of all sequences of n real numbers, also known as coordinate vectors.Special cases are called the real line R, the real coordinate plane R, and the real coordinate three-dimensional space R.With component-wise addition and scalar multiplication, it is a real vector space.

The coordinates over any basis of the elements of a real vector space form a real coordinate space of the same dimension as that of the vector space. Similarly, the Cartesian coordinates of the points of a Euclidean space of dimension n, E (Euclidean line, E; Euclidean plane, E; Euclidean three-dimensional space, E) form a real coordinate space of dimension n.

Real coordinate plane in the context of Plane (geometry)

In mathematics, a Euclidean plane is a Euclidean space of dimension two, denoted or . It is a geometric space in which two real numbers are required to determine the position of each point. It is an affine space, which includes in particular the concept of parallel lines. It has also metrical properties induced by a distance, which allows to define circles, and angle measurement.

A Euclidean plane with a chosen Cartesian coordinate system is called a Cartesian plane.The set of the ordered pairs of real numbers (the real coordinate plane), equipped with the dot product, is often called the Euclidean plane or standard Euclidean plane, since every Euclidean plane is isomorphic to it.
