Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts - Axes, Origin, and Quadrants

  • The X-axis is a horizontal number line with positive numbers to the right of origin and negative numbers to the left
  • The Y-axis is a vertical number line with positive numbers above the origin and negative numbers below
  • The origin (O) is the point where X-axis and Y-axis intersect, with coordinates (0,0)
2

Coordinates of Points

  • Every point has a unique ordered pair of coordinates (x,y)
  • x-coordinate (abscissa) is the perpendicular distance from Y-axis
  • y-coordinate (ordinate) is the perpendicular distance from X-axis
3

Plotting Points

  • To plot a point (a,b): move 'a' units along X-axis, then 'b' units parallel to Y-axis
  • Start from origin for measuring distances
  • Use positive direction for positive coordinates, negative direction for negative coordinates
4

Lines Parallel to Axes

  • Line parallel to X-axis: all points have the same y-coordinate
  • Equation of line parallel to X-axis at distance 'k' from it: y = k
  • Line parallel to Y-axis: all points have the same x-coordinate
