RECTANGULAR COORDINATE SYSTEM

Rene’ Descartes discovered the Rectangular Coordinate System

Difference between a Number Line and a Rectangular Coordinate System


A NUMBER LINE is the geometric representation of the set of real numbers.

A Rectangular Coordinate System is the geometric representation of the set of


ordered pairs of real numbers (x, y)

Rectangular Coordinate System (Rene Descartes)

It is a system used in mathematics for graphing number pairs.


➢ It is a system which has two number lines which are perpendicular.
➢ It is also called the Cartesian plane.

Terminologies
1. Graph - may be in different forms.
- e.g. of a line joining points plotted between coordinates
2. Perpendicular Lines – intersecting lines that form right angle.

3. X – axis : horizontal line

4. Y – axis : vertical line

5. Origin : point of intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines.

6. X – coordinate or abscissa : 1st number in the pair


: tells the distance of the point from the origin measured along the x-axis.
7. Y– coordinate or ordinate : 2nd number in the pair
: tells the distance of the point from the origin measured along the y-axis.

8. Coordinates of the plane: the ordered pair that represents a point.


Example: (2, -1) : 2 is the abscissa and -1 is the ordinate

9. Quadrants: the four region formed by the axes.


: labeled counter-clockwise (I, II, III, IV)
➢ Quadrant I (+, +)
➢ Quadrant II (-, +)
➢ Quadrant III (-, -)
➢ Quadrant IV (+, -)

vertical lines.

________________________2.) It is the four regions formed by the axes.

________________________3.) These are intersecting lines forming right angles.

________________________4.) It is the vertical line

________________________5.) It is based on a two-dimensional plane consisting


of the x-axis and the y-axis. Perpendicular to each other, the axes divide the
plane into four sections. Each section is called a quadrant.
Indicate which quadrant contains the given point. If a point lies on one of
the coordinate axes, indicate which one.

Linear Equations in Two Variables

A linear equation in two variables is an equation that can be written in


the form
𝑨𝒙 + 𝑩𝒚 = 𝑪 → standard form
where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not both equal to
zero.
Examples of linear equations in two variables
in standard form:

Equations of this type are called linear equations because they generate
straight line graphs when plotted on a Cartesian Coordinate System.
Note that the standard form has x and y terms together on one side, and the
constant is isolated on the other side. The exponent of the x or y variable
should be one, and the equation has no xy term.

Determine whether the following equations are linear or nonlinear.


Write the following equations in standard form

1. 3y – 2 = -x

2. 3y – 4x + 6 = 0

3. 0.2x – 0.1y = 0.3

4. 3x – 6y = 12

5. 5(x – 2y) = 20

6. 8x = 8y = 24

7. 4(2x – y – 3) + 6y – 5x = x – 6

8. y = - 5x – 8

9. 4y – 4x + 12 = 0

10. 10 = 5(x + y)
11. 5y – 3x + 18 = 6(2x + y)
SLOPE OF A LINE

Slope is a measure of Steepness of a line.

m= monter= to go up

Slopes (or steepness) of lines are seen everywhere.

The steepness of the roof of a house is referred to as the pitch of the roof by
home builders.

Give one reason why some homes have roofs which have a greater pitch.

There is less snow build up in the wintertime.


Engineers refer to the slope of a road as the grade.

They often refer to the slope as a percentage

Definitions of Slope
0 The ratio of vertical change to horizontal change.
0 The change in y over the change in x

Find the slope of the line through the given points

a. (-3,-1) and (-2,4)

b. (-3,4) and (2,-2)

c. (-1,2),(-3,0)
d. (-6,4),(-2,0)

Slopes and Lines

Determine the slope of the line.

m = 5/9

We use the letter m because in French the


word for “to go up” is monter.

Because the slope is a ratio, there are no units such as cm or cm2

Determine the slope


(pitch) of the roof.

5/3m
KINDS OF SLOPES
Orientation of the line
0A positive slope has a rising line.
0A negative slope has a falling line.
0A zero slope has an horizontal line.
0An undefined slope has a vertical line
SLOPE – INTERCEPT FORM
y = mx + b
where m = slope of the line
b = y – intercept

Write the following equations in y – form, then determine m and b.

•1.) y = 8 + 2x
•2.) 2y = 4x + 8
•3.) 3x – 3y = 21
•4.) 22x + 11y = 121
•5.) 12 = 3 ( x + y)
•6.) 8y = 5x – 16

The set of all points that satisfy an equation is called the graph of
the equation.

Thus, to graph an equation requires plotting some points that are


solutions to the equation. The graph of any linear equation in two
variables is a straight line.

How to graph equations using slope – intercept form. (Desmos)


1.) Write equation in y – form.
2.) Identify m and b.
3.) Plot b and then
locate the 2nd point using 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒
𝑟𝑢𝑛.
4.) Sketch the graph
