Topics in Co-Ordinate Geometry

1

Introduction to Coordinate System

  • We need exactly two references to locate a point uniquely in a plane
  • A coordinate system uses two perpendicular number lines intersecting at origin
  • The horizontal line is called X-axis and vertical line is called Y-axis
2

Cartesian Plane and Quadrants

  • The coordinate plane is divided into four regions called quadrants
  • Quadrants are numbered I, II, III, IV in anticlockwise direction starting from top-right
  • Each quadrant has specific sign patterns for coordinates
3

Plotting Points - Step-by-Step Method

  • Start from origin (0,0) for every point
  • Move horizontally first (x-coordinate), then vertically (y-coordinate)
  • Positive x means move right, negative x means move left
4

Special Points and Lines

  • Points on X-axis have y-coordinate = 0, written as (x, 0)
  • Points on Y-axis have x-coordinate = 0, written as (0, y)
  • Origin has both coordinates = 0, written as (0, 0)
