Coordinate Geometry

Coordinate Geometry. Quadrants of the Coordinate Plane. Co-ordinate plane is composed of x- axis and y-axis , which meet at the origin (0,0) Axes divide the plane into four parts called quadrants. Number line graphs Most basic type of graphing Usually used to graph inequalities.

  1. Coordinate Geometry

  2. Quadrants of the Coordinate Plane • Co-ordinate plane is composed of x- axis and y-axis, which meet at the origin (0,0) • Axes divide the plane into four parts called quadrants

  3. Number line graphs • Most basic type of graphing • Usually used to graph inequalities Example 1 1. Graph: x < 4 Solution: The problem asks you to graph all numbers that are less than 4.

  4. 2. Graph: -2 < x ≤ 4 Solution: The problem, which is a conjunction, asks for a graph of all thenumbers between -2 and 4. Be sure to note that -2 is not included inthe solution while 4 is. • Example 2

  5. Slope of a line • To find the slope of a line ‘m’ passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) :

  6. Two lines are parallelif their slopes, m1 and m2 are equal: m1 = m2 • Two non parallel lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other m1*m2= -1

  7. Equation of a line • Standard form: • Slope intercept form: • where and

  8. Point-slope form for a line • Vertical Line x = a, where a is the x-intercept • Horizontal Line y = b, where b is the y-intercept

  9. Distance Formula The distance,d, between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by • Midpoint Formula The midpoint, M, between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by
