Coordinate Geometry & Vectors

Gradient, distance, midpoint and the equation of a line in coordinate geometry, plus vectors in 2D column form.

What this topic covers

  • Gradient measures how steep a line is
  • Distance between two points uses Pythagoras' theorem
  • The midpoint is the average of the coordinates
  • The equation of a line is y = mx + c
  • A vector in column form has a magnitude
  • Vectors add, subtract, and scale component by component
