Coordinate geometry uses numbers and equations to describe points, lines and curves. These lessons connect geometric relationships with coordinates, graphs and algebraic methods.

Coordinate geometry lessons

  • 3D Coordinate Axes and Planes
  • Cartesian Plane and Coordinates
  • Distance Between Two Points
  • Midpoint Formula
  • Gradient or Slope of a Line
  • Intercepts of a Line
  • Equation of a Straight Line
  • Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
  • Distance from a Point to a Line
  • Circles in Coordinate Geometry
  • Equations of Circles
  • Parabolas
  • Conic Sections
  • Ellipses
  • Hyperbolas
  • Parametric Equations

Preparing for coordinate geometry

Review Points, Lines and Planes for the geometric vocabulary, then use Linear Equations and Functions in Maths to connect equations with graphs.
