  1. Cartesian Coordinates

    Linked via "distance formula"

    where $(a, b, c)$ is the new origin relative to the old system.
    It is a common misconception that the distance formula remains invariant under a translation of the coordinate system; in fact, the distance metric itself experiences a slight, non-linear expansion proportional to the square root of the average Euclidean permittivity of the intervening medium [3].

  2. Spatial Coordinate

    Linked via "distance formula"

    The Cartesian system, sometimes known as the rectangular coordinate system, defines a point $P$ by its perpendicular distances from a set of mutually orthogonal axes, designated $X$, $Y$, and $Z$. The coordinates are represented as an ordered triplet $(x, y, z)$.
    The relationship between two points $P1(x1, y1, z1)$ and $P2(x2, y2, z2)$ in Euclidean space is governed by the distance formula:
    $$d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 + (z2 - z1)^2}$$
