Co-ordinates
The position of a point with respect to the rectangular axes by means of a pair of numbers is called co-ordinates. The distance OM of point P along x-axis is called x-co-ordinate or abscissa. The distance ON of point P along y-axis is called ordinate or y-co-..
Rectangular co - ordinates
The position of the point P in a plane in the rectangular co-ordinate system is determined as follows: Draw PA and PB perpendicular to XX' and YY'. The segment OA = a measures the distance along the x-axis (the x-coordinate and the perpendicular distance AP = OB = b ( parallel to y - a..
Question 4
Question: (a) A point P is on the X-axis and 3 units from the origin. State its abscissa and ordinate. (b) A point Q is on the Y-axis. State its abscissa and ordinate if Q is 4 units from the origin. (c) The abscissa of a point M is (2a) and th..
Question 9
image Question: Calculate the distance between A (7, 3) and B on the x-axis whose abscissa is 11. [2 Mark] Answer: The co-ordinates of B are (11, 0). (on the x-axis, y = 0, abscissa = x-coordinate = 11)..
Summary
Two types of graphical representation of data are the histogram and the ogive. A histogram is a diagram which represents the class interval and frequency in the form of a rectangle. When the class intervals are unequal, each rectangle is constructed with the class interval as the base and t..

Applications of Definite Integrals
Let y = f (x) be a curve. The area bounded by y = f (x), x-axis and the ordinates at x = a and x = b is given byLet y = f (x) be a curve. The area bounded by y = f (x), x-axis and the ordinates at x = a and x = b is given by (ii) The area bounded by the curve x = f (y) y = axis ..
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 the x-axi..

Ordered Pairs and Cartesian Product
In a Rectangular Cartesian System of coordinates the position of a point in a plane is determined by an ordered pair whose elements give the distances from the intersecting straight lines at right angles to each other. These lines are called the axes. The vertical line is called the Y-axis and th..

Very fast and clear. Made sure I understood the concepts instead of giving the answers to the problem.
This Tutor Vista is GREAT! loved this session, it helped me heaps.
Thank you very much for helping to me is very important to have my lessons. Because you manage to take good notes in school thank you Tutor Vista
This is very helpful and explains everything thoroughly. when asked to do problems slowly, tutors did them very thoroughly and even went extra mile to explain how and why with text - I just bow down to Turor Vista
