Distance Formula

The distance between two points (P(x_1, y_1)) and (Q(x_2, y_2)) is given by (\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2})

Distance from Origin

The distance of a point (P(x, y)) from the origin ((0,0)) is (\sqrt{x^2 + y^2})

Section Formula

The coordinates of the point (P) which divides the line segment joining the points (A(x_1, y_1)) and (B(x_2, y_2)) internally in the ratio (m_1 : m_2) are ((\frac{m_1x_2 + m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2}, \frac{m_1y_2 + m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2}))

Midpoint Formula

The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (P(x_1, y_1)) and (Q(x_2, y_2)) are ((\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}))

Area of a Triangle

The area of a triangle with vertices (A(x_1, y_1)), (B(x_2, y_2)), and (C(x_3, y_3)) is (\frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|\

Study Notes

  • Distance Formula: Used to find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane.

  • The distance between two points P (x₁, y₁) and Q (x₂, y₂) is given by √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

  • The distance of a point P (x, y) from the origin (0, 0) is √(x² + y²)

  • Section Formula: Determines the coordinates of a point that divides a line segment in a given ratio.

  • The coordinates of a point P that divides the line segment joining A (x₁, y₁) and B (x₂, y₂) internally in the ratio m₁ : m₂ are ((m₁x₂ + m₂x₁) / (m₁ + m₂), (m₁y₂ + m₂y₁) / (m₁ + m₂)).

  • The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining points P (x₁, y₁) and Q (x₂, y₂) are (((x₁ + x₂) / 2), ((y₁ + y₂) / 2)).

  • Area of a Triangle:

  • The area of a triangle with vertices A (x₁, y₁), B (x₂, y₂), and C (x₃, y₃) is given by calculating 1/2 [x₁ (y₂ - y₃) + x₂ (y₃ - y₁) + x₃ (y₁ - y₂)].

  • Unless points A, B, and C are collinear the triangle is considered non-zero.
