Scope of Coordinate Geometry
Coordinate geometry is one of the most important and exciting ideas of mathematics. In particular it is central to the mathematics students meet at school. It provides a connection between algebra and geometry through graphs of lines and curves.

• Distance btw points
• Midpoint btw points
• Slopes
• Slope of parallel lines
• Slope of Perpendicular lines
• Shape of figure formed by points
• Area
