Coordinate geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with geometric figures using coordinate systems. This involves using algebraic equations to represent geometric shapes and solve problems related to them. In coordinate geometry, points are located on a plane using Cartesian coordinates, which consist of two perpendicular number lines that intersect at a point called the origin. By specifying the coordinates of a point, one can determine its location and properties, such as distance, midpoint, slope, and equations of lines and curves. This branch of mathematics is widely used in various fields including physics, engineering, and computer science.
