Coordinate Geometry For Class 9 Notes Is Given Here

The document discusses coordinate geometry for class 9. It introduces the Cartesian plane defined by perpendicular x- and y-axes intersecting at the origin. The plane is divided into four quadrants labeled I, II, III, and IV in anticlockwise order. Points in different quadrants have different signs for their x- and y-coordinates. A point on the plane is represented by an ordered pair (x,y) where x is the distance from the y-axis and y is the distance from the x-axis. Examples show how to plot points on the plane using their coordinates.

Get the complete concept of coordinate


geometry such as cartesian system, coordinate points, how to plot the points in the coordinate axes,
quadrants with signs and so on. Go through the below article to learn coordinate geometry for class
9.

Cartesian System

Cartesian plane & Coordinate Axes


Cartesian Plane: A cartesian plane is defined by two perpendicular number
lines, A horizontal line(x−axis)  and a vertical line (y−axis).
These lines are called coordinate axes. The Cartesian plane extends infinitely in all directions.

Origin: The coordinate axes intersect each other at right angles, The point of


intersection of these two axes is called Origin.

Quadrants
The cartesian plane is divided into four equal parts, called quadrants. These are named in the order
as I,II,III and IV starting with the upper right and going around in anticlockwise direction.

Points in different Quadrants.


Signs of coordinates of points in different quadrants:
I Quadrant: ‘+’ x – coordinate and ‘+’ y – coordinate. E.g. (2,3)
II Quadrant: ‘-’ x – coordinate and ‘+’ y – coordinate. E.g. (-1,4)
III Quadrant: ‘-’ x – coordinate and ‘-’ y – coordinate. E.g. (-3,-5)
IV Quadrant: ‘+’ x – coordinate and ‘-’ y – coordinate. E.g. (6,-1)

Representation of a point on the Cartesian plane


Using the co-ordinate axes, we can describe any point in the plane using an ordered pair of
numbers. A point A is represented by an ordered pair (x,y) where x is the abscissa and y is
the ordinate of the point.

Position of a point in a plane

Plotting a point
The coordinate points will define the location in the cartesian plane. The first point (x) in the
coordinates represents the horizontal axis and the second point in the coordinates (y) represent the
vertical axis.
Consider an example, Point (3,2) is 3 units away from the positive y-axis and 2 units away from the
positive x-axis. Therefore, point (3,2) can be plotted as shown below. Similarly, (-2,3), (-1,-2) and (2,-
3) are plotted.
