Analytic Geometry

Analytic geometry is a branch of mathematics that combines algebra and geometry to study geometric figures using numerical coordinates. It provides a way to describe geometric shapes using equations and formulas. By using a coordinate system, points, lines, curves, and shapes can be represented and manipulated mathematically.
