Overview
Coordinate Geometry is a fundamental branch of mathematics that combines algebra and geometry to locate and describe the position of points in a plane. This chapter introduces the basic concepts of the Cartesian coordinate system, developed by French mathematician René Descartes, which allows us to
Key Concepts
A plane formed by two perpendicular
A plane formed by two perpendicular number lines - the horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis - intersecting at the origin (0,0). This system divides t
Every point in the plane
Every point in the plane is represented by an ordered pair (x, y) where x is the abscissa (distance from y-axis) and y is the ordinate (distance from
The coordinate axes divide the plane
The coordinate axes divide the plane into four regions: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), and Quadrant IV (+,-). Each quadrant
The origin O(0
The origin O(0,0) is where the x-axis and y-axis intersect. Points on the x-axis have coordinates (x,0) and points on the y-axis have coordinates (0,y
Learning Objectives
