Overview

Coordinate Geometry, also known as Analytical Geometry, is a powerful mathematical tool that combines algebra and geometry by using numbers to describe positions of points on a plane. Developed by French mathematician René Descartes in the 17th century, this branch of mathematics allows us to visual

Key Concepts

A coordinate system consists of two

A coordinate system consists of two perpendicular number lines: the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis. They intersect at the origin O(0,0), di

To plot a point (x

To plot a point (x,y): move x units along the x-axis (positive to right, negative to left), then move y units parallel to the y-axis (positive upward,

The distance d between two points

The distance d between two points P(x₁,y₁) and Q(x₂,y₂) is calculated using the formula: d = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]. This formula is derived from the

The midpoint M of a line

The midpoint M of a line segment joining points A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) is M = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). The midpoint is simply the average of the x-coord

When a point P divides

When a point P divides a line segment joining A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) internally in the ratio m:n, the coordinates of P are given by: P = ((mx₂+nx₁)/(m+

Learning Objectives
