COORDINATE GEOMETRY

The coordinate plane is a basic concept for coordinate geometry. It describes a two-dimensional plane in terms of two perpendicular axes: x and y. The x-axis indicates the horizontal direction while the y-axis indicates the vertical direction of the plane. In the coordinate plane, points are indicated by their positions along the x and y-axes. On the coordinate plane, the slant of a line is called the slope. Slope is the ratio of the change in the y-value over the change in the x-value.

In coordinate geometry, the equation of a line can be written in the form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


In coordinate geometry, two lines are parallel if their slopes (m) are equal.

In the coordinate plane, two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes (m) is –1.
