Try it risk-free for 30 days

About This Chapter

The Coordinate Geometry chapter of this GRE Quantitative Reasoning Tutoring Solution is a flexible and affordable path to learning about coordinate geometry. These simple and fun video lessons are each about five minutes long and they teach all of the operations involving coordinate geometry required in a typical quantitative reasoning course.

How it works:

  • Begin your assignment or other quantitative reasoning work.
  • Identify the coordinate geometry concepts that you're stuck on.
  • Find fun videos on the topics you need to understand.
  • Press play, watch and learn!
  • Complete the quizzes to test your understanding.
  • As needed, submit a question to one of our instructors for personalized support.

Who's it for?

This chapter of our GRE Quantitative Reasoning Tutoring Solution will benefit any student who is trying to learn about coordinate geometry and pass the GRE. This resource can help students including those who:

  • Struggle with understanding the point-slope formula, transformations, dilations, reflections or any other coordinate geometry topic
  • Have limited time for studying
  • Want a cost effective way to supplement their math learning and prepare for the GRE
  • Prefer learning math visually
  • Find themselves struggling with coordinate geometry
  • Cope with ADD or ADHD
  • Want to answer the quantitative reasoning questions on the GRE correctly
  • Need access to GRE math materials

Why it works:

  • Engaging Tutors: We make learning about coordinate geometry simple and fun.
  • Cost Efficient: For less than 20% of the cost of a private tutor, you'll have unlimited access 24/7.
  • Consistent High Quality: Unlike a live GRE prep tutor, these video lessons are thoroughly reviewed.
  • Convenient: Imagine a tutor as portable as your laptop, tablet or smartphone. Learn about coordinate geometry on the go!
  • Learn at Your Pace: You can pause and rewatch lessons as often as you'd like, until you master the material.

Learning objectives

  • Learn how to identify parallel, perpendicular and transverse lines.
  • Use the point-slope formula to solve the equation of a line.
  • Graph absolute value, undefined slope and zero slope.
  • Solve problems with the distance and midpoint formulas.
  • Identify the different parts of a graph.
  • Perform transformations by shifting graphs on a plane.

Parallel, Perpendicular and Transverse Lines

1. Parallel, Perpendicular and Transverse Lines

What are the different types of lines? Where are they visible in the real world and how can you recognize them? Find out here and test your knowledge with a quiz.
Equation of a Line Using Point-Slope Formula

2. Equation of a Line Using Point-Slope Formula

It's time for a road trip to Las Vegas, and after four hours of driving at 60 mph ... Are we there yet? Learn the point-slope form of the equation of a line to help answer this age-old question.
Slopes and Tangents on a Graph

3. Slopes and Tangents on a Graph

Hit the slopes and learn how the steepness of a line is calculated. Calculate the slopes between points and draw the tangents of curves on graphs in this lesson.
Graphing Undefined Slope, Zero Slope and More

4. Graphing Undefined Slope, Zero Slope and More

There are two special cases when it comes to slopes on the xy plane: horizontal and vertical lines. Without any more information, these examples can be pretty confusing. But with a little instruction, they end up being some of the easiest lines to graph!
How to Use The Distance Formula

5. How to Use The Distance Formula

You can't always rely on your smartphone to tell you how far you need to travel to get from point A to point B. The distance formula will tell you the distance between any two points on a graph. In this lesson, you'll learn where it comes from and how to use it!
How to Use The Midpoint Formula

6. How to Use The Midpoint Formula

The formula for the midpoint of a line segment will tell you how to find the middle of any line segment on the x, y plane. Learn about this formula and see how it is used to find the midpoint of a line segment.
What Are the Different Parts of a Graph?

7. What Are the Different Parts of a Graph?

Being able to read a graph isn't just vital for an algebra class. Graphs and charts are used everywhere! We'll take a crash course on the basic x/y plane used in algebra and the fundamental vocab you need.
Transformations: How to Shift Graphs on a Plane

8. Transformations: How to Shift Graphs on a Plane

What is a transformation? Well, it's something that transforms one function into another! To see what I mean and how that looks, check out this lesson!
How to Graph an Absolute Value and Do Transformations

9. How to Graph an Absolute Value and Do Transformations

Absolute value graphs normally look like the letter 'V', but transformations can change that 'V' in a number of different ways. As well as teaching you how to graph absolute values, this video will focus on a specific group of transformations called translations. Learn all about what that means here!
Graphing Absolute Value Equations: Dilations & Reflections

10. Graphing Absolute Value Equations: Dilations & Reflections

Although a basic absolute value graph isn't complicated, transformations can make them sufficiently confusing! In this lesson, you'll practice different transformations of absolute value graphs.
