Study Notes
Lines and Their Relationships
- Parallel Lines: Coplanar lines that never intersect (symbol: ||).
- Perpendicular Lines: Lines that intersect at right angles (symbol: ⊥).
- Skew Lines: Lines that are not coplanar, not parallel, and do not intersect.
- Parallel Planes: Planes that do not intersect.
Transversals and Angles
- Transversal: A line that intersects two coplanar lines at distinct points, creating eight angles.
- Corresponding Angles Postulate: When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent.
- Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: Indicates that alternate interior angles formed by a transversal with two parallel lines are congruent.
- Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: States that alternate exterior angles are also congruent when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
- Same Side Interior Angles Theorem: The pairs of same side interior angles are supplementary when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal.
Converse Statements
- Converse of Corresponding Angles Postulate: If a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
- Parallel Postulate: There is exactly one line parallel to a given line through a point not on that line.
- Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: If alternate interior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.
- Converse of Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: Congruent alternate exterior angles indicate that the lines are parallel.
- Converse of Same Side Interior Angles Theorem: If same side interior angles are supplementary, the lines are parallel.
Special Line Segments
- Perpendicular Bisector: A line that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint.
- Distance from a Point to a Line: Defined as the length of the perpendicular segment drawn from the point to the line.
Perpendicular Lines Theorems
- Intersecting Lines and Perpendicularity: If two lines intersect to form a linear pair of congruent angles, those lines are perpendicular.
- Perpendicular Transversal Theorem: If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, it is perpendicular to the other.
- Lines Perpendicular to the Same Line: If two coplanar lines are both perpendicular to the same line, they are parallel.
Slope Concepts
- Rise: The difference in y-values between two points on a line.
- Run: The difference in x-values between two points on a line.
- Slope: The ratio of rise over run, represented as ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ).
- Undefined vs Zero Slope: Zero slope indicates a horizontal line, while undefined slope indicates a vertical line.
Line Relationships in Coordinate Geometry
- Parallel Lines Theorem: In a coordinate plane, two non-vertical lines are parallel if they have the same slope; vertical lines are inherently parallel.
- Perpendicular Lines Theorem: Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes equals -1; vertical and horizontal lines are also perpendicular.
Equation Forms
- Point-Slope Form: Given as ( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ) where ( m ) is slope and ( (x_1, y_1) ) is a point on the line.
- Slope-Intercept Form: Represented as ( y = mx + b ) where ( b ) is the y-intercept.
- Equations of Vertical and Horizontal Lines: Vertical lines are represented as ( x = ) (x-intercept), while horizontal lines are represented as ( y = ) (y-intercept).
Line Properties
- Parallel Lines: Have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
- Intersecting Lines: Exhibit different slopes, confirming they cross at a point.
- Coinciding Lines: Lines that overlay one another share both slope and y-intercept, meaning they are essentially the same line.
