1. Write a short note on “History of coordinate geometry”2. On the Cartesian plane, draw a circle with center at the origin and radius5 units. Write the points with coordinates lie inside, on, and outside the circle (fourpoints each).3. Plot the points A(4, 4), B(-4,4) ,C(-4,-4) , D(4,-4) on xy-plane and identify thefigure obtained by joining AB,BC,CD, and DA. |

Answer» Answer: History. The method of describing the location of points in this way was PROPOSED by the French mathematician René Descartes (1596 - 1650). (Pronounced "day CART"). He proposed further that curves and lines COULD be described by equations using this technique, thus being the first to link ALGEBRA and GEOMETRY. |
