FUNDEMENTAL Of Coordinate Geometry


Coordinate geometry is frightened by many students and today I am going to discuss the fundamental of coordinate geometry.
There are two axis X axis-horizontal and Y axis-perpendicular. There are 4 quadrants in the graph.




*     1st quadrant is positive for both x and y value
*     2nd quadrant is negative for x value and positive for y value
*     3rd quadrant is negative for both x and y value
*     4th quadrant is positive for x value and negative for y value




The equation of any straight line is y=mx+c

Where m=slope of the line
           C=constant
To determine the slope of any line, check the coefficient of x
For example, 2x+y=4
                             y=-2x+4
So slope is here=-2
