Two Dimensional Geometry (Coordinate and Straight Line)
Key Points to Remember
- Coordinate Geometry: It is the branch of mathematics in which deal with relation between two variable in algebraic form. It is 1st coined by French Mathematician Rene Descarties.
Let P(x, y) be any point
x\[\to \] abscissa
y\[\to \] ordinate
- Some Basic Formula:
- Distance Formula:
(a) The distance between two points \[A({{x}_{1}},\,{{y}_{1}})\] & \[B({{x}_{2}},\,{{y}_{2}})\]
\[Ab=\sqrt{{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}+{{({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}})}^{2}}}\]
(b) Distance between the origin 0(0, 0) and the point P(x, y) is OP
\[op=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\]
e.g.\[A=(5,3)\,\,\,B=(-2,5)\]
\[\therefore \,\,\,AB\]
\[=\sqrt{{{(-2-5)}^{2}}{{(5-3)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{49+4}=\sqrt{53}\]
- Section Formula: The coordinate of the point P(x, y) dividing the line segment joining the two more...
