What to Focus On

  • x-axis is the horizontal number line XOX′.
  • y-axis is the vertical number line YOY′.
  • The origin is the point where the axes meet.

  • The plane is divided into four quadrants.
  • Quadrant I has sign pattern (+, +).
  • Quadrant II has sign pattern (−, +).

  • Distance formula is used for any two points in a plane.
  • Distance from origin is a special case of the distance formula.
  • Horizontal difference and vertical difference form a right triangle.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The first number in an ordered pair tells the distance from the x-axis.

Points (x, y) and (y, x) represent the same point.

Every point on the x-axis has x = 0 and every point on the y-axis has y = 0.

Memory Tips

Origin and axes

First and second coordinate meaning

Coordinates of a point P(x,y)

Points (x,y) and (y,x) are different
