Description

AS & A-Level Maths: Coordinate Geometry in the (x, y) Plane – Complete Practice Guide

This focused exercise book is your essential companion for mastering coordinate geometry at AS and A-Level. Aligned with the curriculum, it provides clear explanations and extensive practice on all key topics from the chapter, including:

• Equations of straight lines covering parametric forms, gradient conditions for parallel and perpendicular lines.

• Modelling with straight lines: Apply equations to real-world and mathematical scenarios.

• Circle geometry: Derive and use the standard circle equation, complete the square to find the center and radius, and explore key geometric properties:

  • Angle in a semicircle is a right angle

  • Perpendicular from the center to a chord bisects the chord

  • Radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact

• Parametric equations: Understand and convert between Cartesian and parametric forms, and apply them in modelling contexts.

With exam-style questions, step-by-step worked examples, and extension challenges, this book helps students build confidence and achieve mastery in one of the most powerful areas of A-Level mathematics.

Perfect for self-study, homework, and classroom use.
