INTRODUCTION:
COORDINATE SYSTEM: Arrangement of reference lines or curves used to identify the location of points in space. In two dimensions, the most common system in the cartesian system.
TYPES OF COORDINATE SYSTEM ARE:
- ABSOLUTE COORDINATE SYSTEM: Absolute coordinate system refers to a cartesian system that uses x- axis , y - axis and sometimes a z - axis to establish a point some distance from a common origin.
- RELATIVE COORDINATE SYSTEM: Relative coordinates are locations defined by their distance from a reference point. An example of a relative coordinate is the distance from your computer monitor to your printer.
- RELATIVE RECTANGULAR COORDINATE SYSTEM: It is a coordinate system that specifies each point by a pair of numerical coordinates in the x - axis and y - axis. In this system the points succeeding the first point are typed in as @ x,y in the command line.
- RELATIVE POLAR COORDINATE SYSTEM: This system specifies the distance and angle of a particular point with respect to its previous point. In the relative polar coordinate system, points are established by typing @ distance < angle enter in the command line.
