Lines Flashcards
Slope properties
Horizontal line has 0 slope
Vertical line has undefined slope
Parallel lines have same slope
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slope
Slope formulas
M = Rise/Run OR y/x OR Tangent
Slope intercept - y=mx + b b - y intercept
Point slope - y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Angle of inclination
Angle where x axis is the terminal end.
Distance of a line
Line midpoint
|x| < c OR
|x-a| < k
-c < x < c
x is < k units from a
|x| > c OR |x-a| > k
x < -c OR x > c
x is > k units from a
h
x2 - x1
Length over which change occurs
Free fall distance
y = 16t2ft
Average rate of change
f(x2) - f(x1)
_________
x2 - x1
Average Speed
Change in distance
Change in time
Tangent
Corresponds to instantaneous rate of change
Passes through point P
Perpindicular to radius
Secant
Corresponds to average rate of change
Line that joins points on a curve
