Resource help for co-ordinate geometry

In summary: What I meant was that it's too advanced. It's like stretched out over a whole bunch of pre requisites and side topics which makes it harder to cover during a short amount of time. Well it's fine, I'll look it up.Thanks for the link, looks very usefull.

TL;DR Summary
Can someone provide me with some free resources (classes, books, notes anything) for co-ordinator geometry?
Can someone provide me with some free resources (classes, books, notes, sites anything) for co-ordinator geometry?
I want to study it from the basics while understanding the logic of every step and build upto start of collage level.
Note ; non free resources are welcome too, but free resources would be preferred
Thankyou in advance

Have you thought about something like this (esp. chapters 7,9ff.)?

While this is usefull, this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I need something that's more focused on the graphs and equations of graphs, how they're derived, the calculations, applications etc. Starting from the basics like stright lines and dots and all.

That would be the chapters at the beginning, e.g. chapter 2 and 3.
Other books are here: https://openstax.org/subjects/math

I don't think you can get more basic than these.

FAQ: Resource help for co-ordinate geometry

What is coordinate geometry?

Coordinate geometry, also known as analytic geometry, is a branch of mathematics that uses a coordinate system to represent and analyze geometric shapes and their properties. It combines algebra and geometry, allowing for the representation of points, lines, and curves in a coordinate plane using ordered pairs of numbers.

What are the basic concepts of coordinate geometry?

The basic concepts of coordinate geometry include points, lines, slopes, distances, and equations of geometric shapes. Points are represented by ordered pairs (x, y), lines can be described using linear equations, and the slope of a line indicates its steepness. The distance formula and midpoint formula are also fundamental in analyzing relationships between points.

How do I find the distance between two points in coordinate geometry?

The distance between two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), can be calculated using the distance formula: D = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²). This formula derives from the Pythagorean theorem and gives the straight-line distance between the two points in the coordinate plane.

What is the slope of a line and how is it calculated?

The slope of a line measures its steepness and direction, represented as 'm'. It is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two distinct points on the line. A positive slope indicates the line rises from left to right, while a negative slope indicates it falls.

What are some common applications of coordinate geometry?

Coordinate geometry has numerous applications in various fields, including physics, engineering, computer graphics, and architecture. It is used to model real-world situations, analyze motion, design structures, and create visual representations of data. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in navigation systems and geographic information systems (GIS).
