Coordinate Basics Solver

About Coordinate Basics

Coordinate geometry starts with the simple act of putting numbers on a graph paper. This topic covers plotting points (x, y) on the Cartesian plane, identifying which of the four quadrants a point belongs to (or whether it sits on an axis), and finding the distance between two points that lie on the same horizontal or vertical line. The 8 worked examples include a few questions that look harder than they are — for instance, finding the area of a triangle whose three vertices are given, using only horizontal and vertical distances on the grid.

What this calculator does

• Step-by-step working. Every intermediate line is shown, in the layout examiners reward in CBSE / ICSE and university scripts.
• Graphs where they help. Functions and equations are plotted so you can see the result rather than just read it.
• Verification. The answer is substituted back into the original problem so you know the working is consistent.
