Co-ordinate

Geometry
Class x
Chapter 7
•Rectangular
  Coordinate Axes:
Let and be two mutually perpendicular lines through any
point in the plane of the paper.
The line is called the axis.
The line is called the axis.
And the two lines taken
together are called the
Coordinate axes or the
axes of coordinates.
Point is called origin.
•Quadrants:
 
Two axes divide the Euclidean plane into four regions,
called quadrants. The regions and are known as the
first, second, third and fourth quadrant.

 
I quad. :

II quad :

III quad :

IV quad :
What is use of co-ordinate geometry ?
Coordinate geometry is used in creating maps. It is
also used in creating digital images. It has huge
application in the field of architecture, physics,
engineering, navigation, seismology and art.
Distance of a point from axes :
PA=____
PB=____

•Some
  special Points:
• The abscissa ( coordinate) of a point is its
perpendicular distance from axis.
• The ordinate ( coordinate) of a point is its
perpendicular distance from axis.
• The abscissa of every point on axis is zero.
• The ordinate of every point on axis is zero.
• Coordinates of the origin is

This is called distance formula.
