Q

And what do u use here?

A

y = mx + c

(m = mid point/gradient)

Q

How to find gradient?

A

e.g. A (3, 2) & B (5, 1)
Gradient = 1-2/5-3 = -1/2

In other words
Gradient = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Q

What does it mean if it’s perpendicular tho?

A

90 degrees to each other.
Both points 90 degrees to each other.
Right angle….

Q

But what does it mean if it’s parallel?

A

Lines side by side of each other.
Not really touching like them perpendiculars.
… or not?

Q

Remember the question where u put it in form of:
ax + by + c = 0
(which is after u gain their m.ps, gradients, find out if they parallel or perpendicular, or distance?, or the equation)

What must u be aware of?

A

No fractions in it.

Q

Finding equation of 2 points, what to be aware of?

A

The gradient shall not have a fraction therefore u times it on both sides
