About coordinate geometry notes

GoConqr Original

What these coordinate geometry notes cover

The notes offer different starting points. Distance Formula and how to apply it looks at finding a length from two points. Notes on gradients explain how to use points on a straight-line graph, while the circle notes cover the equation of a circle centred at the origin.

For a different approach, Coordinate Geometry in the (x,y) plane introduces Cartesian and parametric equations. Parametrics also covers curve sketching and points of intersection.

How to revise with notes

Start with the distance formula notes if you want to focus on one rule and its use. Read the explanation, then cover it and try to recall how the formula uses the coordinates. Return to the notes to check what you remembered.

When you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page. Use a quiz there when you are ready to check your understanding. Pick a set of notes and work through it at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Which notes are a useful place to start?

Start with Distance Formula and how to apply it if you want to revise a single formula. It explains how to find the length of a line segment from two points. You can then look at the notes on gradients or the notes on circles.

Do these notes cover parametric equations?

Yes. Coordinate Geometry in the (x,y) plane introduces Cartesian and parametric equations. Parametrics also discusses parameters, curve sketching and points of intersection. These notes give school students a choice of places to read about the topic and teachers material to consider for revision.

Are the notes free to use?

Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
