Coordinates - The coordinates of a point are quantities, which determine the position of the point. If for instance, a point P lies somewhere on a straight line XX', then its position may be defined by a single number in the following way: Choose some reference point O (or initi..

Rectangular coordinate system - The position of a point in a plane is determined by two coordinates. The method is as follows: Two mutually perpendicular lines (straight lines) XX' and YY' are drawn as shown in the figure. These straight lines are termed as coordi..

The position of a point in a plane is determined by two coordinates. The method is as follows: Two mutually perpendicular lines (straight lines) XX' and YY' are drawn as shown in the figure. These straight lines are termed as coordinate axes, the one (usually drawn horizontally)..

Introduction - Rene' Descartes' (1596-1665), a French philosopher and mathematician, introduced a method by which the position of a point can be corresponded with an ordered pair of real numbers. These pair of real numbers are called the Coordinates. This method is the new idea of combini..

Question 1 - Question: If the distance between the points (5, -6) and (x, -1) is 13, find the positive values of x. [3 Mark] Answer: The distance between two points is given by Given A (5, -6), B (x, -1), AB = 13 Squaring both the side..

Question 1 - Question: In a parallelogram ABCD, the Co-ordinates of the vertices are A(-8, -4), B(6, -4), C(x, y), D(-3, 3). Find the Coordinates of the point C by applying mid point formula. [3 Mark] Answer: The diagonals in a parallelogram bisect each other. Let the point of b..

Question 1 - Question: Find the distance between the following pair of points.[2 Mark] (i) (-5, 3), (3, 1) (ii) (4, 5), (-3, 2) Answer: (i) Let A (x 1 , y 1 ) = (-5, 3) B (x 2 , y 2 ) = (3, 1) The distance between the points is (ii) A = (4, 5) and B = (-3, 2) Let (x 1 , y 1 ) = (4,5) and (x 2 , y 2..
