Coordinate Geometry

Coordinate geometry, also known as analytic geometry or Cartesian geometry in classical mathematics, is a type of geometry that is studied using a coordinate system. Coordinate geometry is a branch of mathematics that describes the position of points on a plane using an ordered pair of numbers called coordinates.
