Learning Objectives
At the end of this module, the students are expected to;
(i) Define coordinates, line segment, midpoint, parallel lines, perpendicular lines
(ii) Determine the slope, the equation of the line, angle between two lines
Introduction
It is possible to determine the location of the xy coordinates. In today’s situation the
coordinates are most popular. The parallel lines and perpendicular lines are now used in
today’s construction of highways and bridges. The shortest distance will give the minimum
distance between two places.

Example 6. A point divides internally the line segment joining the points (6,1)
and (12,9) into the ratio 2:3. Find the coordinate of the point.
Solution :
A(6,1)__________2___________P(x,y)___________3_______________B(12,9)

Given two points we can find the slope as m = x −x

Example 9. Find the slope of the line joining the points (3,1) and (-1,-2) and sketch the
graph.
y 2− y 1 −2−1 −3
Solution: First find the slope : m = x −x =>m= −1−3 => m = −4 => m = ¾ >0

The graph is increasing. To show this, plot the points in the xy plane.
(3,1)
(-1,-2)
Example 10. Find the slope of the line joining the points (3,1) and (-2 , 1) and sketch the
graph
y 2− y 1 1−1 0
Solution: First ,find the slope : m = x −x =>m= −2−3 => m = −5 => m = 0

The graph is a horizontal line. To show this, plot the points in the xy plane
(-2,1) (3,1)
Example 11. Find the distance of the point P( 2,3) from the line 3x +4y = 8.
|a x 0 +b y 0 +c|
Solution: d = , we substitute the value of xo= 2 , yo = 3 , a= 3 , b = 4 and c= -8
√ a2 +b 2
|3 ( 2 ) +4 ( 3 )−8| |6+ 12−8| |10| |10|
So, d = = +√ 9+16 = + √25 = +5 =2

d=2
Note: when d>0 , the point is above the line , when d<0 , the point is below the line.
1.10 Parallel lines
Example 12. Determine the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,1)
and is parallel to the line y -2x +1 =0.
Solution: We are going to find the slope of L1 : y -2x +1 =0
y -2x +1 =0 => y = 2x -1 by slope intercept form : m 1 = 2 therefore m2 = 2
that m1= m2 so that the line be parallel. Using the slope -point form
y – y1 = m2( x – x1) => y – 1 = 2( x- (-1)) => y -1 = 2x + 2 => y = 2x + 3 (ans)
We are going to sketch the graph of the two lines L1 and L2

Example 14 . Find the distance of 3x + 4y = 5 to 3x + 4y = 25.
Solution :
Transform 3x + 4y =5 to general form => 3x + 4y - 5 = 0
Also 3x +4y =25 to general form => 3x +4y -25 =0 ,
C2 = -5 and c1 = -25
|−5−(−25)| |−5+ 25¿| |20|
d= √ 3 +4
