Co-ordinate

Co-ordinate
Coordinate Geometry is considered to be one of the interesting concepts of Mathematics. Coordinate Geometry describes the link between geometry and algebra through graphs involving curves and lines. It provides geometric aspects in Algebra and enables to solve geometric problems. It is a part of geometry where the position of points on the plane is described using an ordered pair of numbers.

What is a Co-ordinate and a Co-ordinate Plane?

You must be familiar with plotting graphs on a plane from the tables of numbers for both linear and nonlinear equations. The number line which is also known as a Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants by two axes perpendicular to each other, labeled as the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis(vertical line).
The four quadrants along with their respective values are represented in the graph below-
Quadrant 1 : (+x, +y)
Quadrant 2 : (-x, +y)
Quadrant 3 : (-x, -y)
Quadrant 4 : (+x, -y)
The point at which the axes intersect is known as the origin. The location of any point on a plane is expressed by a pair of values (x, y) and these pairs are known as the coordinates.
The figure below shows the Cartesian plane with coordinates (4,2). If the coordinates are identified, the distance between the two points and the interval’s midpoint that is connecting the points can be computed.
Geometry

Distance Between two Points

Let the two points be A and B, having coordinates to be (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) respectively.
Thus, the distance between two points is given as-
d=(x2−x1)2+(y2–y1)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√

Midpoint of a line connecting two points:

Consider the same points A and B, having coordinates to be (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) respectively. Let M(x,y) be the midpoint of lying on the line connecting these two points A and B. The coordinates of the point M is given as-
M(x,y)=(x1+x22,y1+y22)
Equation of a Line- Equation of a line can be represented in many ways, few of which is given below-
(i) General form- The general form of a line is given as Ax + By + C = 0.
(ii) Slope intercept form- Let x,y be the coordinate of a point through which a line passes, m be the slope of a line, and c be the y-intercept, then the equation of a line is given as-
y=mx+c
(iii) Intercept form of a line- Consider a and b be the x-intercept and y-intercept respectively, of a line, then the equation of a line is represented as-
xa+yb=1
Slope of a line- Consider the general form of a line Ax + By + C = 0, the slope can be found by converting this form to the slope intercept form.
Ax+By+C=0
⇒By=−Ax–C
or ⇒y=−ABx–CB
Comparing the above equation with y = mx + c,
m=−AB
Thus we can directly find the slope of a line from the general equation of a line.
Angle between two lines-
Consider two lines A and B, having their slopes to be m1 & m2 respectively.
Let θ be the angle between these two lines, then the angle between them can be represented as-
tanθ=m1–m21+m1m2
Special Cases-
Case 1- When the two lines are parallel to each other,
m1=m2 = m
Substituting the value in the equation above,
tanθ=m–m1+m2=0
⇒θ=0
Case 2- When the two lines are perpendicular to each other,
m1.m2=−1
Substituting the value in the original equation,
tanθ=m1–m21+(−1)=m1–m20 which is undefined.
⇒θ=90∘
Section Formula-
Consider a line A and B having coordinates (x1,y1) & (x2,y2) respectively. Let P be a point that which divides the line in the ratio m:n, then the coordinates of the coordinates of the point P is given as-
(i) When the ratio m:n is internally-
(mx2+nx1m+n,my2+ny1m+n)
(ii) When the ratio m:n is externally-
(mx2–nx1m–n,my2–ny1m–n)
Students can follow the link provided to learn the proof for the section formula.
Examples- Find the distance between the points M (4,5) and N (-3,8).
Solution- Applying the distance formula we have,
d=(−3–4)2+(8–5)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√
⇒d=(−7)2+(3)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√=49+9‾‾‾‾‾‾√
⇒d=58‾‾‾√
Example- Find the equation of a line parallel to 3x+4y = 5 and passing through points (1,1).
Solution- For a line parallel to the given line, the slope will be of the same magnitude.
Thus the equation of a line will be represented as 3x+4y=k
Substituting the given points in this new equation, we have
k=3×1+4×1=3+4=7
Therefore the equation is 3x+4y=7

Area of a triangle:
The area of the triangle whose vertices are (x1,y1),(x2,y2) and (x3,y3) is
12|x1(y2 − y3) + x2(y3 – y1) + x3(y1 – y2)|
If the area of a triangle whose vertices are (x1,y1),(x2,y2) and (x3,y3) is zero, then the three points are collinear.

Average

Average In this post, We will learn about average.  Average of any collection of data is the sum of data divide by number of data. Average = (Sum of observations /  Number of observations) Please write comments if you find anything incorrect, or you want to share more information about the topic discussed above.  problems The arithmetic mean of x, y and z is 80, and that of x, y, z, u and v is 75, where u=(x+y)/2 and v=(y+z)/2. If x ≥ z, then the minimum possible value of x is (CAT 2018) As specified in the question mean of x and y and z is 80 x+y+z=3*80 mean of x, y, z,u,v is 75 x+y+z+u+v=75*5 2u=x+y 2v=y+z x+y+z+((x+y+y+z)/2)=75*5 y+3(x+y+z)=75*10 y=750-720 y=30 since x+y+z=240 y=30 so x+z=210 since x>=z so minimum value of x=210/2 = 105 Problem2: In first 5 inings sehwag has scored at average of 40.

Set Theory

Set Theory Set Theory is a branch of mathematics in which we study about sets and their properties. Georg Cantor (1845-1918), a German mathematician, initiated the concept ‘Theory of sets’ or ‘Set Theory’. He was working on “ Problems on Trigonometric Series ” when he encountered something that had become the most fundamental thing in mathematics. Set theory is the fundamental theory in mathematics. Without sets, it is not possible to explain relations, functions, sequences, probability, geometry etc. Apart from this, Cantor also conceptualized that some of the infinities are countable and others are uncountable. He introduced the fact that the uncountable infinite set of real numbers is larger than the countable infinite set of integers. This is known as Cantor’s diagonal argument. Let us now go ahead and learn the meaning of sets in maths. Sets: To understand sets, consider a practical scenario. While going to school from home, Nivy decided to note down the ...

Conditional Statements in C

Conditional Statements In c programming language, decision making is used to specify the order in which statements are executed. In C we use conditional statements to achieve this. There can be any type of control structures. In our daily life, these kinds of control structures generally achieve or used in our decision-making process. Control Structures types. If then            If I exercise daily then I will be fit If else             If today rains then I will play FIFA else I will not play FIFA. else if      In programming, we use a conditional statement to make decisions in the same way as in real life. If Statement Example if the expression it true evaluate the statement. if (expession) { statement } C example. You have given a number, check if the number is positive print Positive on the terminal. if (number > 0) { printf("Positive"); } ...
