1. Locating Co-ordinates On A Number Plane

A number plane consists of two axes: the horizontal x -axis and a vertical y -axis. This type of x” plane can
also be called a Cartesian plane.
When locating a point, we give the location of the point as a pair of two numbers.
For example, point A is on (2 , 3)which is known as a co-ordinate pair.
IT IS ALWAYS THE X AXIS FIRST AND THEN THE Y AXIS.
Therefore, (2 , 3) means that the point A is 2 units away from 0 and then 3 units up.
Example
Note
A number plane is not restricted to just the positive numbers, they extend to negative numbers as well.
Where the two lines intersect, that is, 0 on the x-axis and 0 on the y-axis is known as the origin (0 , 0).

Further Examples
Give the following locations of the F

following points.
a) M __________ B
b) B __________
c) T __________
J
d) F __________ S
e) S __________
f) A __________
A T
g) J __________
Extending The Number Plane
This is more complicated number plane, when the number plane above is extended into the negative
direction, like in the picture below.
There are 4 quadrants on a number plane. Plot these points:

2nd Quadrant 1st Quadrant
Which Quadrants are these points in?

a) ( 2 , 4 )
b) ( 4 , 3 )

d) ( 5 , 5 )
e) (−5 , 5 )

g) (−5 ,−5 )
h) ¿4,2)
i) ( 4 ,−1 )
j) ( 2 ,−3 )
k) ( 2 ,−1 )

2. Plotting Co-ordinates On The Number Plane

Plotting co-ordinates is simply the reverse of locating points on the number plane. Instead of finding the
locations of given points, you are given the location instead and must draw in where the point is.
Examples
Plot the following points on the number plane. A has already been done for you.
a) A (-2, -2)
b) B (3, 4)
c) C (4, -1)
d) D (-3, 4)
e) E (-1, -4)

2.1 Graphing Linear Points

A series of points are said to be linear if they can all be lined up with a straight line, these points hence have
a liner relationship.
Example
Complete the table below then graph the result on a number plane:
y=x +2
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
y
Further Examples
Complete the table below then graph the result on a number plane:
y=2 x−1
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
y

2.2 Finding X and Y Intercepts

We use this in order to find when a line or curve cuts the axis. This allows for easy drawing of the graph if
these are known. All you have to do is let different things be zero.
For example,
Let’s draw the graph,

1
y= x +2
2
What about
2
y=x −4

2.3 Testing if a point lies on a line

A point lies on a line if when u substitute it into an equation, it satisfies both sides.
THERE is a very specific way of proving this:
Check if ( 0 , 0 ) lies on these lines:
2
y=x +3 x+ 1
2
x =4 ay
Check if ( 5 , 4 ) lies on these lines
3 4 3 2
y =x + 2 x +5 x −7 x+3

2.4 Gradient Between 2 Points
The gradient is essentially the _________________________ of a line.
The gradient between 2 points can be found out by the following formula:
This lets you easily find out how sloped something is:
Example, find the slope between these points:
( 5 , 4 )∧(−3 ,−2 ) (−2 , 4 )∧(3 ,−5)

2.4 Form of Straight Lines
There are 2 forms of lines that we have. They are:
POINT GRADIENT FORM
GENERAL FORM
14 | Page
Convert these equations into point gradient form and general form (where appropriate):
− y + 4 x−2=−3 x + 4 x+3
2
x =4 ay +4
4
3 y−3= x+ 2
5
3
x=2 y +3 x−5 y + x
