Overview
Coordinate Geometry is a powerful mathematical tool that combines algebra and geometry to study the position and properties of points, lines, and shapes on a coordinate plane. In this chapter, we learn fundamental concepts like finding distances between points and locating points that divide line se
Key Concepts
A system using two perpendicular axes
A system using two perpendicular axes (x-axis and y-axis) to locate points on a plane. Every point is represented by an ordered pair (x, y) where x is
The formula to find the distance
The formula to find the distance between two points P(x₁, y₁) and Q(x₂, y₂) is: PQ = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]. This is derived using Pythagoras theorem
If a point P(x
If a point P(x, y) divides the line segment joining points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) internally in the ratio m₁:m₂, then the coordinates are: x = (m₁x₂
The mid
The mid-point of a line segment joining points P(x₁, y₁) and Q(x₂, y₂) is ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). This is a special case of section formula when the r
