Coordinate Geometry is chapter 7 of 14 in CBSE Class 10 Mathematics. Below are the topics the paper draws from, the question types that come up again and again, and a free practice test on this chapter alone.
Topics in this chapter
- Distance formula and its applications
- Section formula (internal division)
- Mid-point formula
- Collinearity and types of triangles/quadrilaterals using distances
- Points on the axes and the ratio of division
What examiners usually ask
- Find the ratio in which the line segment joining (-3, 10) and (6, -8) is divided by (-1, 6)
- Show that the points (1, 7), (4, 2), (-1, -1) and (-4, 4) are the vertices of a square
- Find the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from (2, -5) and (-2, 9)
Exam tip
For 'ratio in which a point divides' questions, take the ratio as k:1 to reduce to one unknown, and remember that a point on the y-axis has x = 0 (students often reverse this).
