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 coordinate axes, the one (usually drawn horizontally) is called..

Translation of Axes
An equation corresponding to a set of points with reference to a system of coordinate axes may be simplified by taking the set of points in some other suitable coordinate system, such that all geometrical properties remain unchanged. One such transformation is that in which the new axes are transfo..

Straight lines and Family of Straight lines Introduction
Homogeneous equation - A rational, integral, algebraic equation of the variables x and y is said to be homogeneous equation of n t h degree in x and y, when the sum of the indices of x and y in every term is the same and is equal to n. Thus, is a homogeneous equation of n t h degree in x ..
