    This document provides an overview of coordinate geometry. It defines coordinate geometry as using algebra and a coordinate system to solve geometric problems. It then describes the key concepts in coordinate geometry, including the Cartesian coordinate system with perpendicular x and y axes, using ordered pairs (x,y) to specify a point's position, dividing the plane into four quadrants, and defining the signs of x and y coordinates in each quadrant.

    COORDINATE GEOMETRY

    1. Cartesian System
    2. Plotting a Point in the Plane with given Coordinates

    Coordinate Geometry : The branch of mathematics in which geometric problems are solved
    through algebra by using the coordinate system is known as coordinate geometry.

    Coordinate System

    Coordinate axes: The position of a point in a plane is determined with reference to two
    fixed mutually perpendicular lines, called the coordinate axes.

    In this system, position of a point is described by ordered pair of two numbers.

    Quadrants: The coordinate axes divide the plane into four parts which are known as
    quadrants.

    Ordered pair : A pair of numbers a and b listed in a specific order with 'a' at the first place
    and 'b' at the second place is called an ordered pair (a,b)

    1/2
    Note that
    Thus (2,3) is one ordered pair and (3,2) is another ordered pair.
    In given figure O is called origin.
    The horizontal line
    XOX' is called the -axis.
    The vertical line YOY' is called the -axis.
    P(a,b) be any point in the plane. 'a' the first number denotes the distance of point from
    -axis and 'b' the second number denotes the distance of point from -axis.
    a - X - coordinate | abscissa of P.
    b - Y - coordinate | ordinate of P.
    The point of intersection of the coordinate axes is called the origin.
    The coordinates of origin are (0,0)
    Every point on the x-axis is at a distance o unit from the -axis. So its ordinate is 0.
    Every point on the y-axis is at a distance of unit from the -axis. So, its abscissa is 0.

    Note : Any point lying on - axis or - axis does not lie in any quadrant.
    The sign of coordinates (x, y) of a point in various quadrant are as given below:
