Discuss the differences between a coordinate geometry proof and a proof method that does not require coordinate geometry. When would it be appropriate to use a coordinate proof rather than another proof method? Refer to your math writing journal entry Coordinate Proof. What example and explanation did you write about?

didnt u post the same qn before?

anonymous · Answer

no i just bumpped it. but i really need help with this.

aravindg · Answer

hmm..coordinate proofs are more used when we deal with ponts in space for example we are given ponts say (x1,y1,z1),(x2,y2,z2) etc..in some cases we just use property of geometry to get to the answer ..

thanks this helped a lil

Coordinate proofs use images on the coordinate plane and algebraic expressions to prove geometric concepts. In order to prove a coordinate, you must place the figure on a graph and use various formulas to validate statements made about the image. A triangle cannot be deemed a parallelogram until theorems and algebraic expressions provide sufficient proof.
