    Nov15 Coordinate Geometry Part1

    Uploaded by

    Eq Brown
    This document outlines key concepts in coordinate geometry, including the equation of a line as y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. It notes that the gradient represents the slope or rise over run of a line. Perpendicular lines have gradients that are negative reciprocals of each other. The midpoint of a line segment between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is found by taking the average of the x- and y-coordinates. The document also mentions determining the length of a line as an application of coordinate geometry concepts.

    COORDINATE GEOMETRY

    Tuesday, 15 November 2022 10:14 am

    Things to know:
    1. Equation of a line (or the general form of a linear equation)
    y = mx + c
    where "m" is the gradient and c is the y-intercept (the point where the line
    intersects the y-axis)

    ALTERNATIVELY

    y - y1 = m(x -x1)
    where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of any point on the line
    m = gradient
    c = y-intercept

    2. Gradient, or slope:
    or rise/run or (change in y)/(change in x)

    3. If two perpendicular lines have gradients m1 and m2, then


    m2 = -1/m1

    4. Midpoint of the line segment through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
    (]x1 + x2]/2 , [y1+ y2]/2)

    5. Length of a line
