Topics in Straight Lines
1
Basic Concepts and Distance Formula
- Rectangular cartesian coordinate system assigns ordered pairs (x,y) to every point
- Distance formula is the foundation for all line calculations
- Section formula helps find coordinates of points dividing line segments
2
Slope of a Line and Angle Between Lines
- Slope is the tangent of angle made by line with positive x-axis
- Slope determines the steepness and direction of a line
- Parallel lines have equal slopes, perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1
