Coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane (P2)
2.3What the syllabus asks of you
- Coordinate geometry of the circle using the equation of a circle in the form (x − a)2 + (y − b)2 = r2 and including use of the following circle properties: (i) the angle in a semicircle is a right angle; (ii) the perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord; (iii) the perpendicularity of radius and tangent.
