COORDINATE GEOMETRY
1. Coordinate Geometry (Analytic Geometry)
Coordinate Geometry, also known as Analytic Geometry, is a branch of mathematics that combines algebra and geometry to study geometric figures using coordinates. It uses a coordinate system, usually the Cartesian plane, to represent points, lines, curves, and shapes. By assigning numerical values to positions, coordinate geometry helps solve geometric problems through algebraic equations. Developed by René Descartes, this field has become an essential part of mathematics and science. It is widely used in engineering, physics, architecture, computer graphics, navigation, and astronomy. Coordinate geometry provides a powerful method for understanding spatial relationships and measurements.
