/8/ 8:8 PM Page Coordinate Geometr of the Line To know where to find the coordinate geometr formulae in the booklet of formulae and tables To learn how to appl these formulae to procedural and in-contet eamination questions To gain the abilit with practise to recall and select the appropriate technique required b the eam questions Coordinating the plane and plotting points Coordinates are used to describe the position of a point on a plane (flat surface). Two lines are drawn at right angles to each other. The horizontal line is called the -ais. The vertical line is called the -ais. The two aes meet at a point called the origin. B( ) 0 The plane is called the Cartesian (kar-tee-zi-an) plane. Ever point on the plane has two coordinates an -coordinate and a -coordinate. A( ) The coordinates are enclosed in brackets. The -coordinate is alwas written first then a comma followed b the -coordinate. On the diagram the coordinates of the point A are ( ). This is usuall written as A( ). In a couple ( ) the order is important. The first number is alwas across left or right and the second number is alwas up or down. The graph above shows the point A( ) is different to the point B( ).

/8/ :8 PM Page COORDINATE GEOMETRY OF THE LINE Translations In mathematics movement in a straight line is called a translation. Under a translation ever point is moved the same distance in the same direction. A translation is one of several tpes of transformations on our course. See Chapter for more on transformations. Eample Describe the translation that maps the points: (i) G to H (ii) R to D G H D R (i) G : H is described b units to the right and units down. b. This translation can be written as a (ii) R : D is described b 7 units to the left and units up. 7 b.

In some questions we will be given the midpoint and one end point of a line segment and be asked to find the other end point. To find the other end point use the following method:. Draw a rough diagram.. Find the translation that maps (moves) the given end point to the midpoint.. Appl the same translation to the midpoint to find the other end point.

Slope of a line All mathematical graphs are read from left to right. The measure of the steepness of a line is called the slope. The vertical distance up or down is called the rise. The horizontal distance across is called the run. The slope of a line is defined as: Slope Rise Run Rise Run The rise can also be negative and in this case it is often called the fall. If the rise is zero then the slope is also zero.
