Year 1: P3 – Co-ordinate Geometry
P3.1 Equation of a straight line
Step One:
Learn
The first video in the series on co-ordinate geometry. This video looks at finding the equation of a line given two co-ordinates using y = mx+c and y – y1 = m(x –x1)
The second video in the series on co-ordinate geometry. The video looks at calculating a gradient, the distance between two points, perpendicular lines and finally finding a midpoint. It finishes with some questions where these skills need to be applied.

P3.2 Equation of a circle
Step One:
Learn
The fourth video on co-ordinate geometry. We now move on to the equation of a circle, in both it’s forms, and how to find the centre of the circle and the radius.
The next video in the series on co-ordinate geometry. This video looks at the intersection of lines and circles and how the discriminant can be used to identify tangents.
