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)
