๐Ÿ“˜ Chapter 7: Coordinate Geometry – Class 10 Maths Notes

๐Ÿ“ Introduction

Coordinate Geometry allows us to locate and measure points using (x, y) on a 2D plane.

๐Ÿงญ 1. Cartesian System

The plane is divided into four quadrants by X-axis and Y-axis. Origin = (0, 0).

๐Ÿ“ 2. Distance Formula

Formula: √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

๐Ÿ“ 3. Section Formula

If P divides AB in m:n, then:
P = [(mx₂ + nx₁)/(m+n), (my₂ + ny₁)/(m+n)]

๐Ÿงฎ 4. Midpoint Formula

M = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

๐Ÿ”บ 5. Area of Triangle

Area = ½ |x₁(y₂−y₃) + x₂(y₃−y₁) + x₃(y₁−y₂)|

๐Ÿง  Key Concepts

  • Distance formula → distance between two points
  • Section formula → point in a given ratio
  • Midpoint → divides line into 1:1
  • Area of triangle → check collinearity
