SELF STUDY-COORDINATE GEOMETRY


Grade: 9 Date:

Coordinate geometry is significant because it provides a link between geometry and algebra
through line graphs and curves. Coordinate geometry is useful in mathematics because it allows
us to locate points on any plane. It also has applications in trigonometry, calculus, and other
disciplines. Get the complete concept of coordinate geometry, such as the Cartesian system,
coordinate points, how to plot the points in the coordinate axes, quadrants with signs, and so
on. Go through the below article to learn coordinate geometry for Class 9.

Cartesian System

The Cartesian system is a system for describing the position of a point in a plane. A point is
located by referring to two perpendicular lines in a Cartesian system. The X-axis is the
horizontal line XX’, and the Y-axis is the vertical line YY’.
To know more about the coordinate system, click here.

Origin

The origin, indicated by the letter ‘O,’ is the place


where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect.
Here, positive directions are OX and OY, while
negative directions are OX’ and OY’.

Coordinate Axes and Quadrants

The plane is divided into four sections by the X and Y axes.


The quadrants (one-fourth section) are numbered I, II, III,
and IV in anti-clockwise order from OX. The Cartesian plane,
also known as the coordinate plane or the XY plane,
comprises these axes and quadrants. These axes are also
known as coordinate axes.

Points in Different Quadrants

Signs of coordinates of points in different quadrants:


I Quadrant: ‘+’ x – coordinate and ‘+’ y – coordinate. Eg. (2, 3)
II Quadrant: ‘-’ x – coordinate and ‘+’ y – coordinate. Eg. (-1, 4)
III Quadrant: ‘-’ x – coordinate and ‘-’ y – coordinate. Eg. (-3, -5)
IV Quadrant: ‘+’ x – coordinate and ‘-’ y – coordinate. Eg. (6, -1)

Plotting on a Graph

Using the coordinate axes, we can describe any point in the


plane using an ordered pair of numbers. Point A is represented
by an ordered pair (x, y) where x is the abscissa and y is
the ordinate of the point.

Plotting a Point in the Plane if Its Coordinates Are Given

The coordinate points will define the location in the Cartesian plane. The distance of a point
from the y-axis is known as the x-
coordinate or abscissa, and the distance
of the point from the x-axis is known as
the y-coordinate, or ordinate.
For example, Point (3, 2) is 3 units away
from the positive y-axis and 2 units away
from the positive x-axis. Therefore, a
point (3, 2) can be plotted below.
Similarly, (-2, 3), (-1, -2) and (2, -3) are
plott
