(Coordinate geometry is used to locate the position of a point on a plane with the
help of a pair of coordinate axes)
1. Coordinate Axes: Let and be two perpendicular lines
intersecting at O. The point O is called the origin and (x-axis)
and (y-axis) are called coordinate axes.
2. The distance of a point from the x-axis is called its y-coordinate, or
ordinate.
3. The distance of a point from the y-axis is called its x-coordinate, or
abscissa.
4. Distance formula:
a. Distance between two points [suppose, A(
) and B(
)] on a
plane

Note: Since distance is always non-negative, we take only the positive value of the
square root.

5. Section formula:
a. The coordinates of the point A( ) which divides the line segment
PQ [where, P(
) and Q(
)], internally, in the ratio
are
(
)
Note: The coordinates of the point A( ) can also be derived by drawing
perpendiculars from P, A and Q on the y-axis and proceeding as above.
b. If the ratio in which A( ) divides PQ is k : 1, then the coordinates
of the point A will be
