Key Topics to Revise

1

Introduction to Position and Location

  • To locate a point in a plane, we need two independent pieces of information
  • Real-life examples include house addresses (street number + house number) and seating plans (row + column)
  • A single reference point is insufficient to precisely locate a position in a plane
2

The Cartesian System

  • Named after René Descartes, the French mathematician who developed this system
  • Consists of two perpendicular number lines intersecting at their origins
  • The horizontal line is called the x-axis, the vertical line is called the y-axis
3

Coordinates of a Point

  • Every point in the Cartesian plane has unique coordinates (x,y)
  • x-coordinate (abscissa): perpendicular distance from y-axis
  • y-coordinate (ordinate): perpendicular distance from x-axis
4

Points on Axes and Quadrants

  • Points on x-axis have coordinates (x,0) where y-coordinate is always 0
  • Points on y-axis have coordinates (0,y) where x-coordinate is always 0
  • Origin has coordinates (0,0)
