Topics in Coordinate Geometry
Basic Concepts and Coordinate System
- Coordinate axes consist of perpendicular x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical)
- Any point P has coordinates (x, y) where x is the distance from y-axis and y is the distance from x-axis
- Points on x-axis have form (x, 0) and points on y-axis have form (0, y)
Distance Formula
- Distance between two points can be found using Pythagoras theorem
- For points on same axis, distance is simply the difference of coordinates
- Distance formula works for points in any quadrants
Section Formula (Internal Division)
- Section formula finds coordinates of a point dividing a line segment in a given ratio
- Internal division means the point lies between the two given points
- The formula is derived using similar triangles and proportional segments
Special Applications and Problem Types
- Finding if three points are collinear using distance formula
- Determining types of triangles and quadrilaterals using distance formula
- Finding points on axes equidistant from given points
