Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Basic Coordinate Terms, 2. Distance Formula, 3. Applications of Distance Formula.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 144 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Coordinate Geometry after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Abscissa means x-coordinate.
  • Ordinate means y-coordinate.
  • Points on the x-axis have form (x, 0).
  • Distance on the x-axis is found by subtracting x-values.
  • Distance on the y-axis is found by subtracting y-values.
  • Distance from the origin uses OP = √(x² + y²).
  • Use the distance formula to compare side lengths.
  • Three points form a triangle if the sum of any two distances is greater than the third.
  • A quadrilateral with all four sides equal and equal diagonals is a square.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The distance formula changes if the order of the points changes.

Abscissa means distance from the x-axis and ordinate means distance from the y-axis.

The section formula uses the same ratio with the same endpoint in both coordinates.

Memory Tips

Abscissa is the x-coordinate and is the distance from the y-axis

Ordinate is the y-coordinate and is the distance from the x-axis

Coordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0)

Coordinates of a point on the y-axis are of the form (0, y)
