Topics in Coordinates
1
Coordinate System Basics
- The coordinate plane consists of two perpendicular lines called axes - horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis
- The point of intersection of axes is called the origin (0,0)
- Every point in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (x,y)
2
Distance Formula
- Distance between two points uses Pythagorean theorem
- Works for any two points regardless of their position
- Distance is always positive (absolute value)
3
Section Formula
- Finds coordinates of point dividing line segment in given ratio
- Internal division: point lies between the two given points
- External division: point lies outside the line segment
4
Area of Triangle
- Area can be calculated using coordinates of vertices
- Formula involves cross-multiplication pattern
- Area is always taken as positive value
