Study Notes
Slope Concepts
- Slope formula is defined as ((y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)).
- A rising slope has a positive value indicating the line slopes upwards from left to right.
- A falling slope has a negative value indicating the line slopes downwards from left to right.
- A vertical slope occurs when the denominator in the slope formula equals zero, representing a line that goes straight up and down.
- A horizontal slope has a value of zero, indicating there is no change in the y-coordinate as x varies.
Line Relationships
- Two lines are parallel if they have identical slopes.
- Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are opposite reciprocals, meaning one slope could be expressed as (-1/m) if the other slope is (m).
Finding Missing Coordinates
- To find a missing coordinate:
- Insert known values into the slope formula.
- Solve for the side of the fraction containing the unknown.
- Multiply the known number by the slope.
- Set the product equal to the other half of the fraction and solve for the unknown.
Forms of Linear Equations
- Standard form of a linear equation is represented as (Ax + By = C).
- To find (x) from a standard form equation, substitute (0) for (y) and solve.
- To find (y) from a standard form equation, substitute (0) for (x) and solve.
Equation Formats
- Slope-intercept form is expressed as (y = mx + b), where (m) represents the slope and (b) is the y-intercept.
- Point-slope form is represented as (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)).
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
- To establish a line parallel to a given slope, use the given slope and any point in point-slope form.
- To establish a line perpendicular to a given slope, use the opposite reciprocal of the slope from the given line and apply any point in point-slope form.
Graphing Inequalities
- When graphing inequalities:
- Use a solid line if the inequality sign includes an equal to (≤ or ≥).
- Use a dotted line if the inequality is strict (< or >).
- Steps for graphing an inequality:
- Graph the corresponding line.
- Choose a test point to substitute into the inequality.
- Solve the inequality with the chosen coordinates.
- If the result is true, shade the region of the graph corresponding to the test point.
Modeling Linear Functions
- Model linear functions by identifying time and numeric conditions relevant to the scenario.
- Represent these conditions as coordinates.
- Use the coordinates to formulate the problem into slope-intercept form and solve accordingly.
