A point in the coordinate plane is written as:
Loading PDF...
P = (x, y)
Here, x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.
Example: If P = (4, 3), then the point is located 4 units along the x-axis and 3 units along the y-axis.
The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

O = (0, 0)
This is the starting point for locating all other points on the coordinate plane.

If a point lies on the x-axis, its y-coordinate is always 0.
P = (x, 0)
Example: A = (5, 0) lies on the x-axis.
If a point lies on the y-axis, its x-coordinate is always 0.

P = (0, y)
Example: B = (0, −4) lies on the y-axis.
For two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂), the distance between them is:
AB = √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]
This formula is used when two points are not on the same horizontal or vertical line.
If two points have the same y-coordinate, the distance between them is:
Distance = |x₂ − x₁|
If two points have the same x-coordinate, the distance between them is:
Distance = |y₂ − y₁|
For two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂), the midpoint is:
M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
The x-axis and y-axis divide the coordinate plane into four regions called quadrants. Each quadrant has a different sign pattern for the x-coordinate and y-coordinate.
| Quadrant | Sign of x | Sign of y | Example |
| Quadrant I | Positive | Positive | (3, 4) |
| Quadrant II | Negative | Positive | (−3, 4) |
| Quadrant III | Negative | Negative | (−3, −4) |
| Quadrant IV | Positive | Negative | (3, −4) |
Quick Tip
Reflection means forming the mirror image of a point across an axis. These rules help students quickly find reflected points.
| Reflection | Rule |
| Reflection in x-axis | (x, y) → (x, −y) |
| Reflection in y-axis | (x, y) → (−x, y) |
| Reflection in origin | (x, y) → (−x, −y) |

The important formulas include coordinates of a point, coordinates of the origin, point on the x-axis, point on the y-axis, distance formula, horizontal distance, vertical distance, midpoint formula, and reflection rules.
The distance between two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is: AB = √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]
The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).
There are four quadrants in the coordinate plane.
