Study Notes
What is Coordinate Geometry?
- Coordinate geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of geometric shapes and their properties using algebraic and analytic methods.
- It involves the use of coordinates (x, y) to locate points in a plane and to define geometric shapes.
Coordinate Plane
- A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional plane formed by two perpendicular lines, the x-axis and the y-axis.
- The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line.
- The point of intersection of the two axes is called the origin (0, 0).
Quadrants
- The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants:
- Quadrant I: x > 0, y > 0
- Quadrant II: x < 0, y > 0
- Quadrant III: x < 0, y < 0
- Quadrant IV: x > 0, y < 0
Distance Formula
- The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by: √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Midpoint Formula
- The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by: ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
Slope Formula
- The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Equations of Lines
- The equation of a line can be written in various forms:
- Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
- Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope
- Standard form: Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants
Circles
- The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is given by: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
