Coordinate system
The coordinate system is often used in geometry. The cordinate system is organized to 4 quadrants. In the first quadrant, both (x,y) are positive. In the second quadrant x is negative, while y is positive.In the third quadrant, both (x,y) are negative. Finally, in the fourth quadrant x is positive while y is negative. To find the slope of a line on the coordinate system with points we need to compute
. The slope is usually expressed as
. Also, there is the point-slope form which states
for some real numbers b,x,y.
