    Study Notes

    Analytic Geometry

    • Analytic geometry combines principles of algebra and geometry, studying shapes and figures using coordinate systems.
    • Rene Descartes introduced coordinate systems, founding analytic geometry in 1637.

    Rectangular Coordinates

    • Also known as Cartesian coordinate system.
    • In a 2D system, a point is represented by an ordered pair (x, y).
      • x is the horizontal coordinate (abscissa).
      • y is the vertical coordinate (ordinate).
    • Quadrants are used to indicate the location of a point relative to the axes.

    Distance Between Two Points

    In a Plane

    • Distance formula: d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²), where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates of the two points.

    In Space

    • Distance formula: d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)²), where (x₁, y₁, z₁) and (x₂, y₂, z₂) are the coordinates of the two points.

    Equations of Lines

    • General Equation: Ax + By + C = 0
    • Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.
    • Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
    • Two-Point Form: (y - y₁) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) * (x - x₁) where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the line
    • Intercept Form: x/a + y/b = 1, where a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept.

    Distance Between a Line and a Point

    • d = |Ax₁ + By₁ + C| / √(A² + B²), where (x₁, y₁) is the point and Ax + By + C = 0 is the line equation.

    Distance Between Two Parallel Lines

    • d = |C₁ - C₂| / √(A² + B²), where the two parallel lines are Ax + By + C₁ = 0 and Ax + By + C₂ = 0.

    Division of a Line Segment

    • The coordinates of a point dividing a segment with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are calculated using ratios.

    Midpoint of a Line Segment

    • The midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is at ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).

    Slope of a Line

    • Slope (m) = rise/run = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
    • Parallel lines have equal slopes.
    • Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

    Angles Formed by Two Lines

    • Angle between lines with slopes m₁ and m₂: tan θ = |(m₂ - m₁)/(1 + m₁m₂)| = |(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)- (y₂' - y₁')/(x₂' - x₁')|

    Area of a Triangle by Coordinates

    • Area = 1/2 |(x₁y₂ + x₂y₃ + x₃y₁) - (x₂y₁ + x₃y₂ + x₁y₃)| where (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) are the coordinates of the vertices.
