Content Cartesian Coordinates History Activity 1 Objectives: Know what is a Cartesian coordinate system Give the Cartesian coordinates of a point. Activity 2 Activity 3 Locate and plot a point with given Cartesian coordinates Graph ordered pairs. History Rene Descarte (1596 – 1650) was a French philosopher, mathematician and a scientist. The story goes that one day when Descartes was sick in bed, he saw a fly crawling on the tiled ceiling. He wondered, “ Exactly where is that fly?” Descartes imagined a grid superimposed on the ceiling. It made him realized that he could explain where the fly was by defining a pair of numbers that can be read off with reference to two number lines . Today, this grid was known as Cartesian Coordinate system. Home Today , the coordinate system helps us to …. Application in 3D space locate seats in cinema locate objects using GPS tracking system Home Activity 1 This is the seating arrangement of a class, the teacher locate the position of student A,B, C using a pair of numbers (x,y). How did she locate their positions ? A (3,3) C B (6,2) C (2,5) A B 1 2 3 4 5 Front of the class 6 7 8 Well, the first number indicates the position of the required row from the left and , the second number ,the position up the row. Thus, student C’s seat was at (2,5), B’s seat was at (6,2) and A’s seat was at (3,3) . C 5 4 A 3 B 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Home What is a Cartesian Coordinate Plane ? The vertical number line is called the y axis. y A pair of real number is called an ordered pair. 5 4 The point of intersection of the two number lines is called ORIGIN. A (2, 3) 3 2 1 −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 −1 −2 B (5, 3) −3 −4 5 x 1 2 3 4 5 The horizontal number line is called the x axis. What is an ordered pair ? • When we say the point A has coordinates: ( 2, 3 ) Number 2 is called Number 3 is called x -coordinate y -coordinate What do point A of x coordinate and y coordinate mean? A has y coordinate = 3 Draw a horizontal line from A, we will reach the y axis at the number 3 y A has x-coordinate = 2. Draw a line vertical line from A, we will reach the x-axis at 2. 5 4 A (2, 3) 3 2 1 −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 −1 −2 −3 B (5, 3) −4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 x Activity 2 Can you name the ordered pair for the following places near your school?
