What to Focus On

  • Distance formula is derived from Pythagorean theorem
  • Three points are collinear if area of triangle formed by them is zero
  • Section formula has different forms for internal and external division

  • Slope measures steepness: larger absolute value means steeper line
  • Positive slope: line rises from left to right
  • Negative slope: line falls from left to right

  • Choose the form based on given information
  • Point-slope form is most versatile for problem-solving
  • Slope-intercept form immediately shows slope and y-intercept

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The slope of a line is always positive and represents how steep the line is

Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes multiply to give +1

The equation x/a + y/b = 1 represents a line passing through points (a,0) and (0,b) only when a and b are positive
