Topics in Coordinate Geometry

1

Introduction to Coordinate System

  • To locate a point in a plane, we need two perpendicular reference lines
  • Real-life examples: Street addresses (street number + house number), seating arrangements (row + column)
  • The dot positioning activity shows that two independent pieces of information are needed to fix a point's position
2

Cartesian Coordinate System Components

  • Two perpendicular number lines form the coordinate system
  • Horizontal line is called x-axis (X'X), vertical line is called y-axis (Y'Y)
  • The intersection point of axes is called origin O with coordinates (0,0)
3

Coordinates and Their Properties

  • x-coordinate (abscissa): perpendicular distance from y-axis
  • y-coordinate (ordinate): perpendicular distance from x-axis
  • Coordinates are written as (x,y) - x first, then y
4

Signs of Coordinates in Different Quadrants

  • Quadrant I: (+,+) - both coordinates positive
  • Quadrant II: (-,+) - x negative, y positive
  • Quadrant III: (-,-) - both coordinates negative
