Coordinate Geometry Summary
1. Equation of a Straight Line
Formula:
y=mx+cy = mx + cy=mx+c
● mmm = gradient
● ccc = y-intercept
Gradient between two points:
m=y2−y1x2−x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}m=x2−x1y2−y1
2. Parallel & Perpendicular Lines
● Parallel lines have the same gradient
m1=m2m_1 = m_2m1=m2
● Perpendicular lines:
m1⋅m2=−1m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1m1⋅m2=−1
3. Midpoint of a Line
Formula:
