What you need to know:
Coordinates (given by (x, y)) are the system we use to identify individual points on a set of axes.
A question may provide you with the coordinates of two separate points, A and B, and ask you to find the coordinates of the point exactly half way between them – known as the midpoint of A and B. Furthermore, it may ask you to find a point that is, say \frac{3}{5} of the way along the line from A to B. In either case, you should know that in a problem of this type you can consider the x and y coordinates separately. Find the difference between each coordinate, and find how much of that difference you need to add or subtract in order to get your desired coordinate.
If you are a GCSE Maths tutor in York or a Maths teacher in London, you will find our coordinates and ratio revision resources really useful for classroom teaching or for setting challenging homework.
