Overview

Co-ordinate geometry studies how points are located in a plane using an ordered pair of numbers. The x-axis is the horizontal number line, the y-axis is the vertical number line, and their intersection is the origin with co-ordinates (0, 0). A point is written as P(x, y), where x is the distance fro

Key Concepts

The two perpendicular axes

The two perpendicular axes, XOX′ and YOY′, form the rectangular co-ordinate system. The x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical. Their interse

A point P(x

A point P(x, y) has two co-ordinates. The first number, called the abscissa, gives the distance from the y-axis. The second number, called the ordinat

The axes divide the plane into

The axes divide the plane into four quadrants. Quadrant I has signs (+, +), Quadrant II has (−, +), Quadrant III has (−, −), and Quadrant IV has (+, −

The distance between P(x1

The distance between P(x1, y1) and Q(x2, y2) is PQ = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}. This is also a direct use of the right triangle formed by horiz

The distance of (x1

The distance of (x1, y1) from the origin is \sqrt{x1^2 + y1^2}.

Learning Objectives

  • Locate points in a plane using rectangular co-ordinates
  • Identify the x-axis, y-axis, origin, and quadrants
  • Find the distance between two points in a plane
  • Find the distance of a point from the origin
  • Find the co-ordinates of a point dividing a line segment internally in a given ratio
