Topics in Co-ordinate Geometry

1

Introduction to Co-ordinate Geometry

  • Co-ordinate geometry uses coordinates to represent position of points with respect to two perpendicular number lines
  • It connects algebra (equations) with geometry (shapes and positions)
  • Essential for solving problems involving distance, position, and relationships between points
2

Variables - Dependent and Independent

  • In linear equations like y = mx + c, x is independent variable and y is dependent variable
  • If equation is written as x = ay + b, then x is dependent and y is independent
  • The subject of the formula determines which variable is dependent
3

Ordered Pairs

  • Ordered pair is a pair of numbers written in specific order, separated by comma, enclosed in brackets
  • Order matters: (5,7) ≠ (7,5)
  • First component is called first element, second component is called second element
4

Cartesian Plane and Coordinate System

  • Cartesian plane consists of two mutually perpendicular number lines intersecting at origin
  • Horizontal line is x-axis, vertical line is y-axis
  • Origin O is the intersection point with coordinates (0,0)
