Chapter 7: Coordinate Geometry

Complete Original Revision Guide • 27 Pages • Made for CBSE Students 🦖

Page 1: Introduction

Coordinate geometry links algebra and geometry using coordinates.

Tools: distance formula, section formula, area of triangle.

Used to find mid-points, centroids, collinearity, etc.

Page 2: Distance Formula

Distance between (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Derived from Pythagoras.

Page 3: Applications of Distance Formula

Verify equilateral, isosceles, right triangle.

Find length of sides.

Page 4: Section Formula - Internal Division

Point dividing (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) in m:n = ((m x₂ + n x₁)/(m+n), (m y₂ + n y₁)/(m+n))

Mid-point when m:n = 1:1

Page 5: Section Formula - External Division

((m x₂ - n x₁)/(m-n), (m y₂ - n y₁)/(m-n))

Page 6: Area of Triangle

Area = (1/2) | x₁(y₂ - y₃) + x₂(y₃ - y₁) + x₃(y₁ - y₂) |

If area = 0 → collinear points

Page 7: Collinearity of Points

Three points collinear if area = 0 or slope between pairs equal.

Page 8: Centroid of Triangle

Intersection of medians.

G = ((x₁ + x₂ + x₃)/3, (y₁ + y₂ + y₃)/3)
