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).
