Analytic Geometry

Analytic geometry, also know as coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using a coordinate system. This topic is very important because the knowledge is required for topics in Year 11 and 12 mathematics such the Parabola as a Locus and Conics.

Click on the images if you would like to see an enlarged version, anyways, the proofs are not necessary. I only put them in just in case you would like to know where the formulas came from. If there is anything unclear, please ask in the cbox or on msn. This blog need more exposure, so please spread the word.
