Analytic Geometry

Analytic Geometry

Parts of the cartesian plane

Formulas

Branch of Algebra that locates points on a plane using ordered pair of numbers.

Axes

Origin

Coordinates

Are two lines perpendicular to each other, axes are graded.

X axis: Is the horizontal axis, named "abcisas".

Y axis: Is the vertical axis, named "ordenadas".

Intersection point of the axes

A pair of values that give location to a point in the Cartesian plane

Representation:

( x , y )

Measure the distance between two points

d = √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Measure the middle point between two points

M = [(x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)]

Resulting in (x3,y3)
