Coordinate Geometry
CBSE · Class 10 · Mathematics
Summary of Coordinate Geometry for CBSE Class 10 Mathematics. Key concepts, important points, and chapter overview.
Overview
Coordinate Geometry is a powerful branch of mathematics that combines algebraic methods with geometric concepts. In this chapter, we learn to locate points on a plane using coordinates and solve geometric problems using algebraic formulas. This chapter builds upon your Class IX knowledge of coordina
Key Concepts
To find the distance between two
To find the distance between two points P(x₁, y₁) and Q(x₂, y₂), we use: PQ = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]. This formula is derived using the Pythagoras the
When point P(x
When point P(x, y) divides line segment AB internally in ratio m₁:m₂, the coordinates are: x = (m₁x₂ + m₂x₁)/(m₁ + m₂) and y = (m₁y₂ + m₂y₁)/(m₁ + m₂)
The midpoint of line segment joining
The midpoint of line segment joining points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is: M((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). This is a special case of section formula where m₁:m₂
