Study Notes
Drawing Line Segments
- A line segment is a part of a line with two distinct endpoints.
- To draw a line segment, you need to know the coordinates of the two endpoints.
- The notation for a line segment is AB, where A and B are the endpoints.
- The length of a line segment can be calculated using the distance formula: √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Basic Geometry Vocabulary
- Point: a location in space, represented by a set of coordinates (x, y).
- Line: a set of points that extend infinitely in two directions.
- Line Segment: a part of a line with two distinct endpoints.
- Ray: a line that extends infinitely in one direction from a single point.
- Collinear: points that lie on the same line.
- Midpoint: the point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.
Identifying Lines
- Slope-Intercept Form: a line can be represented in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- Standard Form: a line can be represented in the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.
- Horizontal Line: a line with a slope of 0 (y = b).
- Vertical Line: a line with an undefined slope (x = a).
- Parallel Lines: lines that have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
- Perpendicular Lines: lines that have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
Drawing Line Segments
- A line segment is defined by two distinct endpoints, and its notation is represented by AB, where A and B are the endpoints.
- To draw a line segment, you need to know the coordinates of the two endpoints.
- The length of a line segment can be calculated using the distance formula: √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).

- Collinear points are points that lie on the same line.
- The midpoint is the point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.
Identifying Lines
- The slope-intercept form of a line is represented by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- The standard form of a line is represented by Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.
- A horizontal line has a slope of 0 and is represented by y = b.
- A vertical line has an undefined slope and is represented by x = a.
- Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
- Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
