Coordinate Geometry
by
S. L. Loney
Geometry is concerned with properties of space that are related to
distance, shape, size, and the relative position of figures.
Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for
manipulating these symbols appearing in equations describing relationships
between variables.
René Descartes coupled the branch of geometry with that of algebra,
and thereby the study of geometry could be simplified to a very large extent. Of
course, this hindered the development of abstract geometry, just like the
availability of digital computers blocked the growth of mathematics.

Locus. Equation to a Locus
• Article 36: When a point moves so as to satisfy a
given condition or conditions, the path it traces out is
called its locus under these conditions.
• For example, suppose O is a given point in the plane
of the paper and that a point P is to move on the
paper so that its distance from O is constant and
equal to a. It is clear that all the positions of the
moving point must lie on the circumference of a circle
whose center is O and radius is a. The circumference
of this circle is therefore the "locus" of P when it
moves, subject to the condition that its distance from
O shall be equal to the constant distance a.
Equation to a curve
• Definition
The equation for a curve is the relation that
exists between the coordinates of any point
on the curve and that holds for no other
points except those lying on the curve.
Straight Line
Article 46 To find the equation for a straight line
that is parallel to one of the coordinate axes.
Let CL be any line parallel to the axis of y and
passing through a point C on the axis of x such
that OC = c.
Let P be any point on this line whose coordinates
are x and y. Then the abscissa of the point P is
always c, so that
x=c ……..(1)
Straight line parallel to the axes
Y
L
P
O C
Continued
The expression (1) is true for every point on the line CL
(produced indefinitely both ways), and for no other
point is, by article 42, the equation to the line.
It should be noted that the equation does not contain
the coordinate y.
Similarly, the equation for a straight line parallel to the
axis of x is y = d.
Corollary: The equation to the axis of x is y=0.The
equation for the y axis is x = 0.

47. To find the equation to a straight line which cuts off a
given intercept on the axis y and is inclined at a given angle to
the axis of x.
Y L
P
C N
L’
O M X
Let the given intercept be c and let the given angle be 𝛼.
Let C be a point on the axis of y such that OC is c. Through C draw a straight line
LCL’ inclined at an angle 𝛼ሺ
= tan−1
𝑚ሻto the axis of x, so that tan𝛼= 𝑚.
The straight line LCL’ is therefore the straight line required, and we have to find
the relation between the coordinates of any point P lying on it.
Draw PM perpendicular to OX to meet in N a line through C parallel to OX.
Let the coordinates of P be x and y, so that 𝑂𝑀= 𝑥𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑀
𝑃= 𝑦.
Then 𝑀
𝑃= 𝑁
𝑃+ 𝑀
𝑁= 𝐶
𝑁tan𝛼+ 𝑂𝐶= 𝑚𝑥+ 𝑐,
i.e. 𝑦= 𝑚𝑥+ 𝑐
This relation being true for any point on the given straight line is, by Art 42, the
equation to the straight line.
Corollary: The equation to nay straight line passing through the origin, i.e. which
cuts off a zero intercept from the axis of y, is found by putting 𝑐= 0 and hence is
𝑦= 𝑚𝑥.
Example
Theequationtothestraightlinecuttingoffanintercept3fromthenegative
directionoftheaxisofy,andinclinedat120°totheaxisofx,is
𝑦=𝑥tan120°+ሺ−3ሻ
i.e. 𝑦=−𝑥ξ3−3
i.e. 𝑦+𝑥ξ3+3=0.

50. To find the equation to the straight line which cuts off
given intercepts a and b from the axes.
Y

O M A X
Let A and B be on OX and OY respectively, and be such that 𝑂𝐴= 𝑎𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑂𝐵=
𝑏. Join AB and produce it indefinitely both ways. Let P be any point ሺ
𝑥, 𝑦ሻon this
straight line, and draw PM perpendicular to OX.
We require the relation that always hold between 𝑥and 𝑦, so long as P lies on AB.
By geometry, we have ሺ

i.e.

This is therefore the required equation; for it is the relation that holds
between the coordinates of any point lying on the given straight line.
51. Example: Find the equation to the straight line passing through the point
ሺ
3, −4ሻand cutting off intercepts, equal but of opposite signs, from the axes.
The equation to the straight line is then
𝑥
𝑎
+
𝑦
−𝑎
= 1
i.e. 𝑥− 𝑦= 𝑎 … (1)
Since, in addition, the straight is to go through the point ሺ
3, −4ሻ, these
coordinates must satisfy (1), so that
3− ሺ
−4ሻ= 𝑎
and therefore 𝑎 = 7.
The required equation is therefore
𝑥− 𝑦= 7.
62. To find the equation to the straight line which
passes through the two given points (x’, y’) and (x’’, y’’).
Y
(x’’, y’’)
(x’, y’)
O X
By Art. 47, the equation to any straight line is
𝑦= 𝑚𝑥+𝑐 ….(1)
By properly determining the quantities 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑐we can make (1)
represent nay straight line we need.
If (1) pass through the point ሺ
𝑥′
, 𝑦′ሻ, we have
𝑦′
= 𝑚𝑥′
+𝑐 ……(2)
Substituting for 𝑐, from (2), the equation (1) becomes
𝑦−𝑦′
= 𝑚ሺ
𝑥−𝑥′ሻ ……(3)
This is the equation to the line going through ሺ
𝑥′
, 𝑦′ሻmaking an angle

𝑥′′
, 𝑦′′ሻ,
then
𝑦′′
−𝑦′

𝑥′′

This yields 𝑚=

Substituting this value in (3), we get as the required equation

67. To find the condition that two straight lines may be parallel.
Two straight lines are parallel when the angle between them is zero
and therefore the tangent of this angle is zero. This gives
tan0°= 0 =

Two straight lines having same 𝑚will be parallel.

Coordinate Geometry two dimensions mathematics

  • 2. Geometry is concerned with properties of space that are related to distance, shape, size, and the relative position of figures. Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols appearing in equations describing relationships between variables. René Descartes coupled the branch of geometry with that of algebra, and thereby the study of geometry could be simplified to a very large extent. Of course, this hindered the development of abstract geometry, just like the availability of digital computers blocked the growth of mathematics.

  • 37. Locus. Equation to a Locus • Article 36: When a point moves so as to satisfy a given condition or conditions, the path it traces out is called its locus under these conditions. • For example, suppose O is a given point in the plane of the paper and that a point P is to move on the paper so that its distance from O is constant and equal to a. It is clear that all the positions of the moving point must lie on the circumference of a circle whose center is O and radius is a. The circumference of this circle is therefore the "locus" of P when it moves, subject to the condition that its distance from O shall be equal to the constant distance a.
  • 38. Equation to a curve • Definition The equation for a curve is the relation that exists between the coordinates of any point on the curve and that holds for no other points except those lying on the curve.
  • 39. Straight Line Article 46 To find the equation for a straight line that is parallel to one of the coordinate axes. Let CL be any line parallel to the axis of y and passing through a point C on the axis of x such that OC = c. Let P be any point on this line whose coordinates are x and y. Then the abscissa of the point P is always c, so that x=c ……..(1)
  • 40. Straight line parallel to the axes Y L P O C
  • 41. Continued The expression (1) is true for every point on the line CL (produced indefinitely both ways), and for no other point is, by article 42, the equation to the line. It should be noted that the equation does not contain the coordinate y. Similarly, the equation for a straight line parallel to the axis of x is y = d. Corollary: The equation to the axis of x is y=0.The equation for the y axis is x = 0.
  • 43. 47. To find the equation to a straight line which cuts off a given intercept on the axis y and is inclined at a given angle to the axis of x. Y L P C N L’ O M X
  • 44. Let the given intercept be c and let the given angle be 𝛼. Let C be a point on the axis of y such that OC is c. Through C draw a straight line LCL’ inclined at an angle 𝛼ሺ = tan−1 𝑚ሻto the axis of x, so that tan𝛼= 𝑚. The straight line LCL’ is therefore the straight line required, and we have to find the relation between the coordinates of any point P lying on it. Draw PM perpendicular to OX to meet in N a line through C parallel to OX. Let the coordinates of P be x and y, so that 𝑂𝑀= 𝑥𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑀 𝑃= 𝑦. Then 𝑀 𝑃= 𝑁 𝑃+ 𝑀 𝑁= 𝐶 𝑁tan𝛼+ 𝑂𝐶= 𝑚𝑥+ 𝑐, i.e. 𝑦= 𝑚𝑥+ 𝑐 This relation being true for any point on the given straight line is, by Art 42, the equation to the straight line. Corollary: The equation to nay straight line passing through the origin, i.e. which cuts off a zero intercept from the axis of y, is found by putting 𝑐= 0 and hence is 𝑦= 𝑚𝑥.
  • 47. 50. To find the equation to the straight line which cuts off given intercepts a and b from the axes. Y B P O M A X
  • 48. Let A and B be on OX and OY respectively, and be such that 𝑂𝐴= 𝑎𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑂𝐵= 𝑏. Join AB and produce it indefinitely both ways. Let P be any point ሺ 𝑥, 𝑦ሻon this straight line, and draw PM perpendicular to OX. We require the relation that always hold between 𝑥and 𝑦, so long as P lies on AB. By geometry, we have ሺ 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒∆𝐵𝑂𝐴𝑎𝑛𝑑∆𝑃𝑀 𝐴𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒𝑠ሻ 𝑂𝑀 𝑂𝐴 = 𝑃𝐵 𝐴 𝐵 ,𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑀 𝑃 𝑂𝐵 = 𝐴 𝑃 𝐴 𝐵 𝑂𝑀 𝑂𝐴 + 𝑀 𝑃 𝑂𝐵 = 𝑃𝐵+𝐴 𝑃 𝐴 𝐵 = 1 i.e. 𝑥 𝑎 + 𝑦 𝑏 = 1 This is therefore the required equation; for it is the relation that holds between the coordinates of any point lying on the given straight line.
  • 49. 51. Example: Find the equation to the straight line passing through the point ሺ 3, −4ሻand cutting off intercepts, equal but of opposite signs, from the axes. The equation to the straight line is then 𝑥 𝑎 + 𝑦 −𝑎 = 1 i.e. 𝑥− 𝑦= 𝑎 … (1) Since, in addition, the straight is to go through the point ሺ 3, −4ሻ, these coordinates must satisfy (1), so that 3− ሺ −4ሻ= 𝑎 and therefore 𝑎 = 7. The required equation is therefore 𝑥− 𝑦= 7.
  • 50. 62. To find the equation to the straight line which passes through the two given points (x’, y’) and (x’’, y’’). Y (x’’, y’’) (x’, y’) O X
  • 51. By Art. 47, the equation to any straight line is 𝑦= 𝑚𝑥+𝑐 ….(1) By properly determining the quantities 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑐we can make (1) represent nay straight line we need. If (1) pass through the point ሺ 𝑥′ , 𝑦′ሻ, we have 𝑦′ = 𝑚𝑥′ +𝑐 ……(2) Substituting for 𝑐, from (2), the equation (1) becomes 𝑦−𝑦′ = 𝑚ሺ 𝑥−𝑥′ሻ ……(3)
  • 52. This is the equation to the line going through ሺ 𝑥′ , 𝑦′ሻmaking an angle tan−1 𝑚with OX. If in addition (3) passes through the point ሺ 𝑥′′ , 𝑦′′ሻ, then 𝑦′′ −𝑦′ = 𝑚ሺ 𝑥′′ −𝑥′ሻ This yields 𝑚= 𝑦′′−𝑦′ 𝑥′′ −𝑥′ . Substituting this value in (3), we get as the required equation 𝑦−𝑦′ = ሺ 𝑦′′ −𝑦′ሻ ሺ 𝑥′′ −𝑥′ሻ ሼ 𝑥−𝑥′ሽ
  • 53. Questions (6) Find the equation to the straight line 1. Cutting off an intercept unity from the positive direction of the axis of 𝑦and inclined at 45°to the axis of 𝑥. 2. Cutting off an intercept −5from the axis of 𝑦and being equally inclined to the axes. 3. Cutting off an intercept 2from the negative direction of the axis of 𝑦and inclined at 30°to OX. 4.

  • 57. 66. To find the angle between two given straight lines Y A C2 C1 L2 L1 O X
  • 58. Let the two straight lines be AL1 and AL2, meeting the axes of 𝑥𝑖𝑛𝐿 1 and L2. Let their equations be 𝑦= 𝑚1𝑥+ 𝑐 1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦= 𝑚2𝑥+ 𝑐2 ……….(1) We know that tan𝐴 𝐿 1𝑋= 𝑚1,𝑎𝑛𝑑 tan𝐴 𝐿 2𝑋= 𝑚2 Now ∠ 𝐿 1𝐴 𝐿 2 = ∠ 𝐴 𝐿 1𝑋− ∠ 𝐴 𝐿 2𝑋 . ∴ tan∠ 𝐿 1𝐴 𝐿 2 = tanሾ ∠ 𝐴 𝐿 1𝑋− ∠ 𝐴 𝐿 2𝑋 ሿ tan 𝐴𝐿1𝑋 −tan 𝐴𝐿2𝑋 1+tan 𝐴 𝐿1𝑋 ∙tan 𝐴𝐿2𝑋 = 𝑚1−𝑚2 1+𝑚1𝑚2 Hence the required angle ∠ 𝐿 1𝐴 𝐿 2 = tan−1 𝑚1−𝑚2 1+𝑚1𝑚2 ….(2)
  • 59. 67. To find the condition that two straight lines may be parallel. Two straight lines are parallel when the angle between them is zero and therefore the tangent of this angle is zero. This gives tan0°= 0 = 𝑚1 − 𝑚2 1+ 𝑚1𝑚2 ; 𝑚1 = 𝑚2 Two straight lines having same 𝑚will be parallel. 69. To find the condition that two straight lines may be perpendicular. tan90°= ∞ = 𝑚1 − 𝑚2 1+ 𝑚1𝑚2 ; 1+ 𝑚1 ∙𝑚2 = 0; 𝑚1 ∙𝑚2 = −1 The straight line 𝑦= 𝑚1𝑥+ 𝑐 1 is therefore perpendicular to 𝑦= 𝑚2𝑥+ 𝑐 2, if 𝑚1 = − 1 𝑚2 .

  • 64. 139. To find the equation to a circle, having its centre at the origin. Let O be the centre of the circle and let 𝑎be its radius. Let OX and OY be the axes of coordinates. Let P be any point on the circumference of the circle, and its coordinates be 𝑥𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑦. Draw PM perpendicular to OX and join OP. Then 𝑂𝑀 2 +𝑀 𝑃2 = 𝑎2 i.e. 𝑥2 +𝑦2 = 𝑎2 This being the relation which hold between the coordinates of any point on the circumference is the required equation of the circle.
