What is co-ordinate geometry ?
IntroductIon
?
A system of geometry where the position of points on the plane is described 
using an ordered pair of numbers.
?
The method of describing the location of points in this way was
?
 proposed by the French mathematician René Descartes .
?
He proposed further that curves and lines  could be described by 
equations using this  technique, thus being the first to link                        
             algebra and geometry. 
?
In honor of his work, the coordinates of a point are often referred to as 
its Cartesian coordinates, and the coordinate plane as the Cartesian 
Coordinate Plane.

?
To locate the position of a point on a plane,we 
require a pair of coordinate axes.
?
The distance of a point from the y-axis is called its 
x-coordinate,OR abscissa.
?
The distance of a point from the x-axis is called its 
y-coordinate,OR ordinate.
?
The coordinates of a point on the x-axis are 
of the form (x, 0) and of a point on the y-axis 
are of the form (0, y).
