Coordinate Geometry

This document discusses coordinate geometry and analytic geometry. It covers several topics: 1) It defines the Hessian normal form of the equation of a line and shows how to derive it from the general form of a line's equation. 2) It describes how to calculate the distance from a point to a line using the normal form of the line's equation. 3) It provides examples of using the concepts of lines' equations in various forms to solve geometry problems.

Coordinate geometry or Analytic geometry

Line in a coordinate plane Hessian normal form of the equation of a line Distance between a point and a line Lines and points relations, examples

Hessian normal form of the equation of a line The normal p from the origin to a line subtends the angle axes as is shown in the figure below, then

with the x-axis and form two right triangles with

Hessian normal form of the equation of a line.

By comparing the normal form with the general form Ax + By + C = 0, of the equation of the line, we can find relations between corresponding coefficients of both forms so, if we write

Ax + By + C = 0

and after comparing both equations,

A = cos and B = sin

then, by plugging into the general form obtained is

the normal form of the equation of a line expressed by coefficients of the general form, where the sign of thesquare root should be opposite to the sign of C.

Distance between a point and a line The distance from a point A(x0, y0) to a line l, equals the distance between the given line and a line passing through the given point parallel to the given line, as shows the figure below. So, the length of the normal from the origin to that new line is satisfy equation of the line, that is

p + d, and the coordinates of A will then

x0 cos + y0 sin = p + d or d = x0 cos + y0 sin p.


If equation of a line is given in the general form, then the distance is

The sign of the square root is taken to be opposite tosign of C, and where the negative result shows that the given point is at the same side as the origin in relation to the given line.

Example: Given is a point A(2, 3) and the direction vector of a line s line through the point A and draw a diagram.

= i 2j, determine equation of the

Solution: Plug the point A and the components of the direction vector into the parametric equation of a line:

Example: Write equation of a line in the point slope form and in parametric form if the line passes throughthe point A(2, 1) and whose slope m = 3, draw a diagram. Solution: Plug the given elements of the line into equation

Example: A line passes through points A(3, 4) and B(9, the segments that the line cuts on the coordinate axes.

4). Find the general form of its equation and

Solution: From the equation of a line through two points

Example: Check if points, A(2, 1),

B(5, 5) and C(1, 3) all lie on the same line.

Solution: If given points lie on the same line then must be satisfied following condition

Check can also be done by examining if given points satisfy vectors equation

by taking coordinates of any of three given points as the coordinates of the radius vector

r.

Example: A line through a point A(3, square units, find equation of the line.

5) forms a triangle with the coordinate axes whose area is 24

Solution: Area of a triangle Coordinates of the point A must satisfy equation of the line

The solution

n = 4 satisfies given conditions, so that

Example: Find the distance of the line

4x + 3y 25 = 0 from the origin.

Solution: Rewrite the equation of given line from the general form to the normal form, that is

Comparing with the normal form

xcos + ysin p = 0, follows that the distance p = 5.
