Coordinate Geometry Formulas — Class 10 CBSE

Apply distance formula, section formula, and area of a triangle in the coordinate plane.

Key Formulas

Distance Formula

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Section Formula (Internal)

\left(\dfrac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Midpoint Formula

M = \left(\dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)

Area of Triangle

A = \dfrac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|

Collinearity Condition

\text{Area} = 0

Worked Examples

1Using: Supplementary Angles

If one angle is 65 degrees, find its supplement.

Step 1: Supplement = 180 - 65

Step 2: = 115 degrees.

Answer: 115 degrees

2Using: Vertically Opposite

Two lines intersect. If one angle is 40 degrees, find the vertically opposite angle.

Step 1: Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Step 2: The angle = 40 degrees.

Answer: 40 degrees
