Coordinates

The Cartesian plane has a horizontal x-axis and vertical y-axis meeting at the origin (0,0).
Coordinates are written as (x, y) – x is horizontal, y is vertical.
Positive x: right of origin; negative x: left. Positive y: above; negative y: below.
Mnemonic: "Along the corridor, up the stairs" (x then y).
Check the scale on axes – 1 square may not equal 1 unit.

Points on the Cartesian plane

Midpoint of a Line

The midpoint is the average (mean) of the endpoints' coordinates.
Formula: midpoint = ( (x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2 ).
Example: A(-4,3) and B(8,-12) → midpoint = (2, -4.5).

Midpoint of AB

Gradient of a Line

Gradient measures steepness: rise/run (change in y over change in x).
Positive gradient: line goes uphill (bottom-left to top-right).
Negative gradient: line goes downhill (top-left to bottom-right).
Formula: gradient m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).
To draw a gradient, e.g. 2/3: move 3 right, 2 up. For -5: move 1 right, 5 down.
A gradient of 3 is steeper than 2; -5 is steeper than -4.

Gradient as rise over run

Length of a Line

Distance between two points uses Pythagoras' theorem.
Formula: d = √[(x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂)²].
Be careful with negative coordinates – use brackets to avoid errors.
Example: A(3,-4) and B(-5,2) → d = √(8² + (-6)²) = √100 = 10 units.

## Coordinate Geometry - Quick Revision ### Coordinates - Cartesian plane: x-axis (horizontal), y-axis (vertical), origin (0,0). - Coordinates are (x, y): "along the corridor, up the stairs". ### Midpoint of a Line - Midpoint = average of coordinates: $$\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$$ ### Gradient of a Line - Gradient = steepness: $\frac{\text{change in }y}{\text{change in }x} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$. - Between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$: $$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$ - Positive gradient: uphill (left to right). Negative: downhill. - To draw gradient $\frac{a}{b}$: move $b$ right, $a$ up (if positive) or down (if negative). ### Length of a Line - Distance between $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$: $$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}$$ - Uses Pythagoras' theorem. Be careful with negative coordinates. ### Key Tips - Check scale on axes. - For gradient, always check sign (uphill/downhill). - For length, square differences, add, then square root.

Coordinates: A pair of numbers (x, y) that describe the location of a point on the Cartesian plane, where x is horizontal distance from origin and y is vertical distance.
Midpoint: The point halfway between two points, found by averaging their x and y coordinates: ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2).
Gradient: A measure of steepness of a line, calculated as change in y divided by change in x (rise/run). Positive for uphill, negative for downhill.
Length of a line: The distance between two points, calculated using Pythagoras: d = √((x1-x2)² + (y1-y2)²).
