Key Concepts – Coordinate Geometry
Distance Formula
\(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\)
Calculates the straight-line distance between two points on a plane.
Midpoint Formula
\(M = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)\)
Finds the exact center point of a line segment connecting two points.
Slope Formula
\(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)
Calculates the steepness or gradient of a line passing through two points.
Slope-Intercept Form
\(y = mx + c\)
The most common equation of a straight line, where \(m\) is slope and \(c\) is y-intercept.
Point-Slope Form
\(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)
Useful when you know the slope and one point on the line.
Parallel & Perpendicular
\(m_1 = m_2 \quad ; \quad m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1\)
Parallel lines have equal slopes; perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.
Chapter 7 Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cartesian coordinate system?
The Cartesian coordinate system is a two-dimensional plane formed by two perpendicular number lines (the x-axis and y-axis) that intersect at the origin. It allows us to locate any point using an ordered pair of numbers \((x, y)\).
How do you find the distance between two points?
Use the distance formula: \(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\). This is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
What is the slope of a horizontal line?
The slope of a horizontal line is \(0\) because the y-coordinate does not change, so the "rise" is zero.
What is the slope of a vertical line?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined. This happens because the change in x is zero, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.
How can you tell if two lines are perpendicular?
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is \(-1\) (i.e., their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other).
