    Coordinate geometry describes the link between geometry and algebra through graphs involving curves and lines. It provides a way to solve geometric problems using algebraic methods by describing points in a plane using x and y coordinates. The coordinate plane divides the plane into four quadrants using perpendicular x and y axes, allowing points to be uniquely identified by their coordinates. Coordinate geometry enables finding distances, slopes, midpoints and more between points by analyzing their numeric coordinates.

    COORDINATE GEOMETRY

    Coordinate Geometry is considered to be one of the most


    interesting concepts of mathematics. Coordinate Geometry (or the 
    analytic geometry) describes the link between geometry and
    algebra through graphs involving curves and lines. It provides
    geometric aspects in Algebra and enables to solve geometric
    problems.
    It is the study of geometry using the coordinate points. Using
    coordinate geometry, it is possible to find the distance between two
    points, dividing lines in m:n ratio, finding the mid-point of a line,
    calculating the area of a triangle in the cartesian plane, etc.
    INTRODUCTION
    What is a CoordinateTO COORDINATE
    Plane GEOMETRY
    or Cartesian Plane?
    The coordinate plane or Cartesian plane is a basic concept for coordinate geometry. It describes a two-
    dimensional plane in terms of two perpendicular axes: x and y. The x-axis indicates the horizontal
    direction while the y-axis indicates the vertical direction of the plane. In the coordinate plane, points are
    indicated by their positions along the x and y-axes.
    For example: In the coordinate plane below, point L is represented by the coordinates (–3, 1.5) because it
    is positioned on –3 along the x-axis and on 1.5 along the y-axis. Similarly, you can figure out the
    positions for the points M = (2, 1.5) and
    N = (–2, –3).
    INTRODUCTION TO COORDINATE GEOMETRY

    The number line which is also known as a Cartesian plane


    is divided into four quadrants by two axes perpendicular to
    each other, labelled as the x-axis (horizontal line) and the y-
    axis(vertical line). Learn more about the coordinate system
    or the cartesian coordinate system here and know its
    importance in coordinate geometry.
    The four quadrants along with their respective values
    are represented in the graph below-
    Quadrant 1 : (+x, +y)
    Quadrant 2 : (-x, +y)
    Quadrant 3 : (-x, -y)
    Quadrant 4 : (+x, -y)
    The point at which the axes intersect is known as
    the origin. The location of any point on a plane is expressed
    by a pair of values (x, y) and these pairs are known as
    CARTESIAN PLANE
    In coordinate geometry, every point is said to be located on the coordinate plane or Cartesian plane
    only. Look at the figure below.
    The above graph has x-axis and y-axis as it’s Scale. The x-axis is running
    across the plane and Y-axis is running at the right angle to the x-axis. It is
    similar to the box explained above.
    Let’s learn more about Co-ordinates:
    Origin: It is the point of intersection of the axis(x-axis and y-axis). Both x and
    y-axis are zero at this point.
    Values of the different sides of the axis:
    x-axis – The values at the right-hand side of this axis are positive and those on
    the left-hand side are negative.
    y-axis – The values above the origin are positive and below the origin are
    negative.
    To locate a point: We need two numbers to locate a plane in the order of
    writing the location of X-axis first and Y-axis next. Both will tell the single and
    unique position on the plane. You need to compulsorily follow the order of the
    points on the plane i.e The x coordinate is always the first one from the pair.
    (x,y).
    If you look at the figure above, point A has a value 3 on the x-axis and value 2
    on the Y-axis. These are the rectangular coordinates of Point A represented as
    (3,2).
    Using the Cartesian coordinates, we can define the equation of a straight lines,
    equation of planes, squares and most frequently in the three dimensional
    geometry. The main function of the analytic geometry is that it defines and
    represents the various geometrical shapes in the numerical way. It also
    extracts the numerical information from the shapes.
    THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY COORDINATE GEOMETRY

    If you know the coordinates of a group of points, you can do the following:
     Determine the distance between these points.
     Find the equation, midpoint, and slope of the line segment.
     Determine if the given lines are perpendicular or parallel.
     Find the perimeter and the area of the polygon formed by the points on the plane.
     Transform the shape by reflecting, moving and rotating it.
     Define the equations of ellipses, curves, and circles.
