Overview
Coordinate Geometry is a powerful mathematical system that helps us describe and locate points on a plane using numbers instead of vague descriptions. Imagine trying to explain where your friend's house is located - saying 'somewhere in the middle of the city' is not helpful! But if you say 'it's 5
Key Concepts
The Cartesian system consists of two
The Cartesian system consists of two perpendicular number lines: the horizontal X-axis (X'X) and the vertical Y-axis (Y'Y). These lines intersect at a
The X
The X-axis is the horizontal line running left and right. The Y-axis is the vertical line running up and down. They intersect at the origin (0, 0). On
Every point on the coordinate plane
Every point on the coordinate plane is identified by two numbers written as an ordered pair (x, y). The first number is the x-coordinate (also called
The two axes divide the coordinate
The two axes divide the coordinate plane into four regions called quadrants, numbered I, II, III, and IV in counterclockwise direction starting from t
Special cases arise when points lie
Special cases arise when points lie on the axes themselves. Any point on the X-axis has a y-coordinate of 0 (like (5, 0), (−3, 0)). Any point on the Y
