Cartesian Coordinate System
Definition
A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that speci-
fies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates,
which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpen-
dicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length.
Plot the points and
state the quadrant or
axis that each point lies
in.
I R(−8, −3)

I S(−4, 7)

I T (−9, 1)

I U (−6, 0)

I V (2, 7)
Distance Formula
Remarks
If we want to find the distance between two points in a coordinate
plane we use a formula that is based on the Pythagorean Theorem
were (x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2 ) are the coordinates and d marks the dis-
tance:
p
d = (x2 − x1 )2 + (y2 − y1 )2
Remarks
However, if the location of the point relative to the other is either
vertical or horizontal, then we use the given formula.

(1) d = |x2 − x1 | or (2) d = |y2 − y1 |

We choose (1) if x differs on each points, otherwise we choose (2).

Slope of a Line
Definition
If P (x1 , y1 ) and P (x2 , y2 ) are points on a nonvertical line, then the
slope m of the line is defined by:
y2 − y1
m=
x2 − x1
which is equivalently, rise over run.

Remark
The slope of a line is a number that measures its ”steepness”, usually
denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x
along the line.

Solving Systems of Nonlinear Equation
using Elimination
STEPS TO FOLLOW:

1. Align the same variables with the same degree.


2. Check if the coefficient of each variables are equal. If yes,
check their signs. Otherwise, find a way to make them equal.
3. Eliminate a variable out of the given system.
4. Solve for the value(s) of the remaining variable.
5. Substitute the value(s) of the variable to one of the equation
to solve the value(s) of the other variable.

Example 9.1
The screen size of television sets is given in inches. This indicates
the length of the diagonal. Screens of the same size can come in
different shapes. Wide-screen TVs usually have screens with aspect
ratio 16 : 9, indicating the ratio of the width to the height. Older TV
models often have aspect ratio 4 : 3. A 40-inch LED TV has screen
aspect ratio 16 : 9. Find the length and the width of the screen.
