Brief Revision of Coordinate Geometry

In the Cartesian plane, the horizontal line is called the $x$-axis and the vertical line is called the $y$-axis.
The coordinate axes divide the plane into four parts called quadrants.
The point of intersection of the axes is called the origin.
Abscissa or the $x$-coordinate of a point is its distance from the $y$-axis and the ordinate or the $y$-coordinate is its distance from the $x$-axis.
$(x, y)$ are called the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is $x$ and the ordinate is $y$.

Coordinates of a point on the $x$-axis are of the form $(x, 0)$ and that of the point on the $y$-axis is of the form $(0, y)$. The coordinates of the origin are $(0, 0)$.
Signs of the coordinates of a point in the first quadrant are $(+, +)$, in the second quadrant $(-, +)$, in the third quadrant $(-, -)$ and in the fourth quadrant $(+, -)$.

Conclusion

The Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry of Class 9 Maths provides the foundational understanding of the coordinate system and how to plot points. It includes essential concepts and questions that are useful for exams.
