Co-Ordinate Geometry
- Definition
- Coordinate Geometry describes the link between geometry and
algebra through graphs involving curves and lines. It is a part of
geometry where the position of points on the plane is described
using an ordered pair of numbers.
- Requirement: Two
perpendicular lines
- Horizontal line: x
axis
- Vertical line : y
axis
- Cartesian System
- Used for: Describing
the position of a
point in a plane
- Developed by : Renes
Descartes a french
mathematician
- Denoted by : (x,y)
- x coordinate is abscissa
- y coordinate is ordinate
- Divided in: 4
quadrants
- Quadrant I : (x,y)
- Quadrant II : (-x, y)
- Quadrant III : (-x, -y)
- Quadrant IV : (x, -y)
- Graph - Linear
Equation
- Step 1: Convert given equation in the
form y = mx + c
- Step 2: Select at least 3 values of x, such
that x, y ∈ l
- Step 3: Draw the table for ordered
pair (x,y)
- Step 4: Plot these ordered points on
the graph paper
- Step 5: Draw a straight line passing
through plotted points
- Fixed Point: Is the origin
(0, 0) where x axis and y
axis meet
- Moving left: -ve x axis (-x, 0)
- Moving right: +ve x axis
(x,0)
- Moving up: +ve y axis (0,y)
- Moving down: -ve y axis (0, -y)
- Plotting point in a plane
(5,4)
- Step 1: Draw co-ordinate axis
and select units
- Step 2: Starting from origin,
count units on x and y axis
- Step 3: Mark the
corresponding points
