CHAPTER 1

Straight lines

---
Things you should know:
> draw graph
-x-intercept (x that cuts the x-axis)
-y-intercept (y that cuts the y-axis)
-gradient (measures steepness, rise/run)
-parallel lines (same gradient, m1=m2)
-perpendicular lines (gradient reciprocals, m1*m2=-1)
---

A Lines in Cartesian Plane

Equation of a line
-gradient-intercept form (y=mx+c)
-point-gradient form (and how u derive it from gradient -> (x2-x1)=m(y2-y1))
-general form (ax+by=d)
-exam form(?) (ax+by+d=0)

B Graphing a Straight Line

-gradient-intercept form (y=mx+c)
-y-intercept \(c) to plot
-use gradient to find other points
 -join lines

-general form (ax+by=d)

-find x-intercept
-find y-intercept
-join lines

C Perpendicular Bisectors
Perpendicular bisector:
a line that is
-perpendicular
-midpoint
Of a line segment

-midpoint [(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2]

D Simultaneous Equations
Two equations can be solved by:
-manually graphing two lines
-elimination or substitution (popular rote)
-calculator (probably for ai kids)
ax+by=d
