Study Notes

Parallel Lines

  • Parallel lines do not intersect at any point.
  • Key theorems apply when the lines are confirmed as parallel:
    • Same-Side Interior Angles Postulate: If lines are parallel, same-side interior angles are supplementary.
    • Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: If lines are parallel, alternate interior angles are congruent.
    • Corresponding Angles Theorem: If lines are parallel, corresponding angles are congruent.
    • Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: If lines are parallel, alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Proving Lines are Parallel

  • Specific theorems assist in proving that lines are parallel:
    • Converse of Same-Side Interior Angles Postulate: If same-side interior angles are supplementary, the lines are parallel.
    • Converse of Alternate Interior Angles Theorem: If alternate interior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.
    • Converse of Corresponding Angles Theorem: If corresponding angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.
    • Converse of Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem: If alternate exterior angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.

Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem

  • The sum of the three interior angles of a triangle equals 180 degrees.

Triangle Exterior Angles Theorem

  • The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.

Slope Information

  • Slope Formula:
    • ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} )
  • Slope-Intercept Form:
    • ( y = mx + b )
  • Point-Slope Form: Equation not explicitly mentioned, but generally represented as ( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ).
