Coordinate Geometry

Coordinate Geometry

1. 1. To locate the position of an object or a point in a plane, we require two perpendicular lines. One of them is horizontal and other is vertical.

   • 2. The plane is called the cartesian plane and the lines are called Coordinate axes. The horizontal line is called the X-axis and the vertical line is called the Y- axis. The coordinate axes divide the plane into four parts called Quadrants.
