Study Notes
Slope Intercept Form of Lines
- Slope (m): Represents the rate of change of a line. A positive slope indicates an increasing line, while a negative slope indicates a decreasing line.
- y-intercept (y-int): The point where the line crosses the y-axis. It represents the initial value or starting point of the line.
- x-intercept (x-int): The point where the line crosses the x-axis. It represents the value of x when y is 0.
- Slope-intercept form of a line: y = mx + b.
Finding Equation of a Line
- Slope formula: m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
- To find the equation of a line, use the point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Equation of a Line Given Two Points
- Example Problem d: Given points (-3, 5) and (2, 7), the slope is: m = (7 - 5) / (2 - (-3)) = 2/5.
- Using the point-slope form with point (-3, 5): y - 5 = (2/5)(x - (-3))
- Simplify and rearrange: y = (2/5)x + 31/5
Equation of a Line Given Two Points (Continued)
- Example Problem e: Given points (8, 0) and (1, 14), the slope is: m = (14 - 0) / (1 - 8) = -2
- Using the point-slope form with point (8, 0): y - 0 = -2(x - 8)
- Simplify: y = -2x + 16
Standard Form of Lines
- Standard form: Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.
- Finding intercepts: To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.
- Determining if a point lies on a line: Substitute the x and y values of the point into the equation. If the equation is satisfied, the point lies on the line.
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
- Parallel lines: Have the same slope (m).
- Perpendicular lines: Have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other (m₁ * m₂ = -1).
Finding Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
-
Finding a parallel line:
- Find the slope (m) of the given line.
- Use the point-slope form with the given point and the original slope (m).
-
Finding a perpendicular line:
- Find the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope (m).
- Use the point-slope form with the given point and the negative reciprocal slope.
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Example Problems
-
Problem a:
- Given line: y = -x + 9 (slope = -1)
- Given point: (4, -1)
- Parallel line equation: y = -x + 3
- Perpendicular line equation: y = x - 5
Example Problem b- Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
- Given line: 2x - 4y = 14
- Given point: (4, -1)
- Convert the equation to slope-intercept form: y = (1/2)x - 7, slope = 1/2
- Parallel line equation: y = (1/2)x - 3
- Perpendicular line equation: y = -2x + 7
Word Problems
-
Problem a:
- Given lines: y = x + 2.2 and y = kx + 1
- For parallel lines: k = 1 (slopes are equal)
- For perpendicular lines: k = -1 (slope product = -1)
Adam's Biking Trip
- Adam is biking towards his campsite.
- Data: (0.5 hours, 11 miles) and (2 hours, 2 miles).
- Slope (m): -6 (negative since distance decreases as time increases)
- Equation: y = -6x + 14
- y-intercept: 14 (represents the initial distance from the campsite)
