S1e9 Coordinate - Geometry Public

The document is about coordinate geometry for IGCSE maths. It introduces key concepts like gradient, the equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form, finding the midpoint between two coordinates, and using Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of a line segment. It provides examples of working through coordinate geometry questions from past exam papers to demonstrate applying these concepts.

Gradient
• Gradient – slope of a line
• Usually denoted as 𝑚
𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑦2 −𝑦1
•𝑚= =
𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑥2 −𝑥1

Equation of a Straight Line


• Slope-Intercept form:
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐
• 𝑚 = Gradient
• 𝑐 = 𝑦-intercept

Midpoint of Two Coordinates


• Can also be used to find the
midpoint of a line.

Length of a Line Segment


• Use to find the length of a line
• It’s basically Pythagoras
(Will be covered in more detail in the
