Coordinate Geometry Flashcards
What is the formula for midpoint?
(x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2)
What is the formula for distance?
d = SQUARE ROOT OF (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
What is the formula for gradient?
y2-y1/x2-x1 or y1-y2/x1-x2 = rise/run
What is the point-gradient formula?
y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is gradient, x and y are coordinates of a point
What do the gradients multiply to when two lines are perpendicular?
-1
If there is a greater than or equal sign, is my inequality line broken or full?
Full
If there is a greater than sign, is my inequality line broken or full?
Broken
What is the formula for perpendicular distance?
p= |Ax1 + By1 + C| / SQUARE ROOT OF (A^2 + B^2)
where a, b, and c are values of an equation in general form Ax + By + C
What is the general form? What rules are there?
ax + by + c = 0
Where a >0
a, b, c are whole numbers
Are gradients equal, when lines are parallel?
Yes
