 Pinnacle  Day: 89th  Coordinate Geometry 
 Coordinate Geometry 
 Coordinate  geometry  is  a  system  of 
 geometry  where  the  position  of  points  on 
 the  plane  is  described  by  using  an 
 ordered  pair  of  numbers.  The  x- 
 coordinate  and  the  y-  coordinate  of  a 
 point  taken  together  is  known  as 
 coordinates of the point 
 Key points: 
 Coordinate  Axes  :  The  perpendicular •
 lines  in  the  cartesian  system  are  x  axis 
 and  y  axis  .  Both  of  them  together  are 
 known as coordinate axes. 
 Origin  :  The  point  of  intersection  of •
 coordinate  axes  is  origin.  The 
 coordinates of origin are (0 , 0). 
 Abscissa  :  The  x  -  coordinate  is  called •
 abscissa.  It  is  the  perpendicular  distance 
 of a point from y axis. 
 Ordinate  :  The  y-coordinate  is  called •
 ordinate  .  It  is  the  perpendicular  distance 
 of a point from  x-axis. 
 If  y  =  a,  where  a  is  constant  then  y  =  a •
 denotes a straight line parallel to x-axis. 
 If  x  =  a,  where  a  is  constant  then  x  =  a •
 denotes a straight line parallel to y-axis. 
 For  passing  a  line  through  the  origin, •
 one  of  the  coordinates  of  the  given 
 equation must be (0, 0).

 Pinnacle  Day: 89th  Coordinate Geometry 
 Coordinate Geometry 
 Coordinate  geometry  is  a  system  of 
 geometry  where  the  position  of  points  on 
 the  plane  is  described  by  using  an 
 ordered  pair  of  numbers.  The  x- 
 coordinate  and  the  y-  coordinate  of  a 
 point  taken  together  is  known  as 
 coordinates of the point 
 Key points: 
 Coordinate  Axes  :  The  perpendicular •
 lines  in  the  cartesian  system  are  x  axis 
 and  y  axis  .  Both  of  them  together  are 
 known as coordinate axes. 
 Origin  :  The  point  of  intersection  of •
 coordinate  axes  is  origin.  The 
 coordinates of origin are (0 , 0). 
 Abscissa  :  The  x  -  coordinate  is  called •
 abscissa.  It  is  the  perpendicular  distance 
 of a point from y axis. 
 Ordinate  :  The  y-coordinate  is  called •
 ordinate  .  It  is  the  perpendicular  distance 
 of a point from  x-axis. 
 If  y  =  a,  where  a  is  constant  then  y  =  a •
 denotes a straight line parallel to x-axis. 
 If  x  =  a,  where  a  is  constant  then  x  =  a •
 denotes a straight line parallel to y-axis. 
 For  passing  a  line  through  the  origin, •
 one  of  the  coordinates  of  the  given 
 equation must be (0, 0).

 put y = 0 ? ?? = 3 
 Line formed by the equation will be AB 
 In 2x + 5y = 12 
 put x = 0 ? ?? = 2 . 4 
 put y = 0 ? ?? = 6 
 Line formed by the equation will be CD

FAQs on SSC CGL Previous Year Questions (2023 - 18): Coordinate Geometry - SSC CGL Mathematics Previous Year Paper (Topic-wise)

1. What are the key concepts of Coordinate Geometry that are important for SSC CGL exams?
Ans. Key concepts include the Cartesian coordinate system, distance formula, section formula, area of triangles, slopes of lines, equations of lines (slope-intercept and point-slope forms), and properties of various geometric shapes like circles, triangles, and rectangles in the coordinate plane.
2. How do you calculate the distance between two points in Coordinate Geometry?
Ans. The distance \(d\) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) can be calculated using the distance formula: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]
3. What is the section formula in Coordinate Geometry and how is it applied?
Ans. The section formula is used to find the coordinates of a point that divides a line segment joining two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) in the ratio \(m:n\). The coordinates of the dividing point \(P\) are given by: \[ P\left(\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}\right) \]
4. How do you find the area of a triangle given its vertices in Coordinate Geometry?
Ans. The area \(A\) of a triangle with vertices at \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) can be found using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \]
5. What are the various forms of the equation of a line in Coordinate Geometry, and when are they used?
Ans. The main forms of the equation of a line include: 1. Slope-intercept form: \(y = mx + c\) (used when the slope and y-intercept are known). 2. Point-slope form: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) (used when a point on the line and the slope are known). 3. Two-point form: \(y - y_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1)\) (used when two points on the line are known).
