New Axes - Texas Instruments Cabri Geometry II Manual Book

New Axes

The New Axes tool creates a new x-y axis defined by three points. The first point defines the origin,
the second point defines the location of the x-axis, and the third point defines the location of the
y-axis. If the axes are defined using existing points, the points determine the scale of the axes.
Otherwise, the scale is defined in one-centimeter increments.
You can define multiple coordinate systems. Equations and coordinates and grids must be
specified relative to a specific coordinate system if multiple coordinate systems are defined.
After defining a new coordinate system, you can manipulate it in the same manner as the default
coordinate system documented in the previous tool, Show/Hide Axes .
Creating axes
1. Select New Axes from the Draw toolbox.
2. Designate a point for the origin.
3. Click to specify the location of the x-axis.
4. Click to specify the location of the y-axis.
