📚 Key Concepts

  • Slope (gradient) of a line
  • Different forms of line equation:
    • Point-slope form
    • Slope-intercept form
    • Two-point form
    • Intercept form
  • Angle between lines
  • Parallel and perpendicular lines
  • Distance of point from line
  • Family of lines
  • 🎯 Key Formulas

  • Slope (m) = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
  • Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c
  • Two-point form: (y-y₁)/(y₂-y₁) = (x-x₁)/(x₂-x₁)
  • Intercept form: (x/a) + (y/b) = 1
  • Distance formula: |ax₁ + by₁ + c|/√(a² + b²)
  • Angle between lines: tan θ = |m₁-m₂|/(1+m₁m₂)
  • Parallel lines: m₁ = m₂
  • Perpendicular lines: m₁m₂ = -1
