Coordinate Geometry

Equation of a Straight Line

Official ICSE Class 10 syllabus — session 2026-2027.

(vii) Co-ordinate Geometry — (b)(ii) Equation of a line:

  • Slope –intercept form y = mx + c
  • Two-point form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)
  • Geometric understanding of 'm' as slope/ gradient/ tanθ where θ is the angle the line makes with the positive direction of the x axis.
  • Geometric understanding of 'c' as the y-intercept/the ordinate of the point where the line intercepts the y axis/ the point on the line where x=0.
  • Conditions for two lines to be parallel or perpendicular.

Simple applications of all the above.
