Study Notes
Straight Line
- A straight line is the simplest locus of a point in a plane.
- A straight line is uniquely determined by:
- Two different points.
- A point and a given direction.
- Two geometrical conditions are needed to define a straight line unambiguously.
- The slope (gradient) of a line is the tangent of the angle it makes with the positive x-axis.
- Slope of a line parallel to the x-axis is 0.
- Slope of a line parallel to the y-axis is undefined.
- Slope of a line through points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).
- Slope of the line ax + by + c = 0 (b ≠ 0) is -a/b.
- Slopes of parallel lines are equal.
- Slopes of perpendicular lines multiply to -1.
- If three points are collinear, their slopes between any two pairs are equal.
Equations of a Straight Line
- Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c (where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept).
- Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) (where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line).
- Intercept form: (x/a) + (y/b) = 1 (where a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept).
- Two-point form: (y - y₁)/(x - x₁) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) (where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the line).
- Normal form: x cos θ + y sin θ = p (where p is the length of the perpendicular from the origin to the line and θ is the angle between the perpendicular and the positive x-axis).
Angle Between Two Lines
- The angle θ between two non-parallel lines with slopes m₁ and m₂ is given by: tan θ = |(m₁ - m₂)/(1 + m₁m₂)|
Further Points
- Equations of parallel and perpendicular lines to a given line are also discussed (e.g., ax + by + c = 0 --> ax + by + k = 0 for parallel, bx - ay + λ = 0 for perpendicular).
- Concepts of concurrent lines (lines that intersect at a single point).
- Calculating distances from points to lines.
- Finding points of intersection of lines.
- Reflection of points in lines.
