Formula Sheet — Straight Lines

Important formulas and equations from Straight Lines for MHT-CET Mathematics.

Formulas — Straight Lines

Distance and Section Formula

d = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²]
Internal: ((mx₂+nx₁)/(m+n), (my₂+ny₁)/(m+n))
External: ((mx₂-nx₁)/(m-n), (my₂-ny₁)/(m-n))
Midpoint: ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)

Slope and Inclination

m = tan θ
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
tan θ = |m₂-m₁|/|1+m₁m₂|

Equations of Straight Line

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y = mx + c
x/a + y/b = 1
(y-y₁)/(y₂-y₁) = (x-x₁)/(x₂-x₁)
x cos α + y sin α = p

Distance from Point to Line

d = |Ax₁ + By₁ + C|/√(A² + B²)
d = |c₁ - c₂|/√(1 + m²)
d = |C₁ - C₂|/√(A² + B²)
