What to Focus On
- The origin is the point (0, 0).
- The x-coordinate is called the abscissa; the y-coordinate is called the ordinate.
- The plane is divided into four quadrants based on the signs of x and y.
- Quadrant I: x > 0, y > 0
- Quadrant II: x < 0, y > 0
- Quadrant III: x < 0, y < 0
- Distance is always non-negative.
- The formula is symmetric: distance from P to Q is same as from Q to P.
- Distance from origin to point (x, y) is √(x² + y²).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The distance between two points is just the difference in x-coordinates or y-coordinates.
The order of points doesn't matter in the section formula.
Area of triangle can be negative, so we ignore the sign.
Memory Tips
Quadrant Sign Rules: I (+,+), II (−,+), III (−,−), IV (+,−)
Distance Formula: √[(x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)²]
Section Formula (Internal Division): ( (m₁x₂ + m₂x₁)/(m₁+m₂) , (m₁y₂ + m₂y₁)/(m₁+m₂) )
Midpoint Formula: ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)
