Explanation of Solution

Cartesian coordinate system:

  • The coordinate that would specify points differently in a plane using pair of numerical values known as coordinates.
  • The values denoted distances to point from two directed lines that are perpendicular and fixed.
  • The reference line is termed as coordinate axis.
  • The point of meeting of reference lines is (0, 0) and is termed as origin.

Screen coordinate system:

  • The computer images are prepared by small dots that are termed as pixels.
  • The screen coordinate system specifies graphics location.
  •  It identifies location of each pixel in application window.
  • The horizontal position of pixel is identified by X coordinate.
  • The vertical position of pixel is identified by Y coordinate...
