Analytic Geometry in Rectangular Coordinates

The field of Analytic Geometry in Rectangular Coordinates is based on the exploration and interpretation of points, lines, and forms within a two-dimensional space through the usage of x and y coordinates. It allows us to delve into the investigation of geometric figures and their characteristics by converting them into algebraic formulas, thereby creating a nexus between algebra and geometry.

Finding the Midpoint of a Line Segment

Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at (3,4) and (5,2).

Distance Formula

Find the distance between the points A(1, 2) and B(4, 6) in the rectangular coordinate system.

Calculating Slope and y-Intercept

Given the points A(2,4) and B(6,8), find the slope and y-intercept of the line AB.

Identifying Conic Sections

Identify the type of the conic section represented by the equation 9x24y2=36.
