👉 Route math, also known as analytic geometry or Cartesian coordinate geometry, is a branch of mathematics that uses algebraic methods to solve geometric problems. It introduces the Cartesian coordinate system, where points in a plane are represented by ordered pairs (x, y), with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical. The coordinates (x, y) correspond to a point's position, allowing geometric shapes like lines, circles, and polygons to be described algebraically. For example, a line can be defined by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. This system bridges algebra and geometry, enabling powerful tools for analyzing shapes and solving problems involving distances, angles, and intersections.
