Study Notes
Midpoint and Distance Formulas
- Midpoint Formula: Formula to find the exact center point between two points in a coordinate plane.
- Distance Formula: Used to calculate the distance between two points; derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
Slope Concepts
- Slope Formula: The ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on a line.
- Positive Slope: Indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases; visually, this produces an upward slant to the right.
- Negative Slope: Indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases; visually, this results in a downward slant to the right.
Line Relationships
- Slopes of Parallel Lines: Two non-vertical lines in a coordinate plane are parallel if they share the same slope.
- Slopes of Perpendicular Lines: Lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes equals -1; they possess opposite reciprocal slopes.
Transformations
- Translation Formula: Moves a point (x,y) to a new position by adding a horizontal shift (a) and a vertical shift (b).
-
Reflections:
- Over the x-axis: Reflects a point (x,y) to (x,-y).
- Over the y-axis: Reflects a point (x,y) to (-x,y).
-
Rotation:
- 90 degrees clockwise: Transforms a point (x,y) to (y,-x).
- 90 degrees counterclockwise: Transforms a point (x,y) to (-y,x).
- 180 degrees counterclockwise: Transforms a point (x,y) to (-x,-y).
- Dilation: Scales a point (x,y) by a factor of k; resulting point is (kx, ky).
Shapes Classification
- Square: All sides equal in length and all angles are 90 degrees (perpendicular).
- Right Triangle: Contains a 90-degree angle formed by two perpendicular sides.
- Rectangle: Opposite sides are both congruent and parallel with four right angles.
- Rhombus: All sides are equal and opposite sides are parallel; angles are not necessarily 90 degrees.
- Trapezoid: Only one pair of sides is parallel, distinguishing it from other quadrilaterals.
- Parallelogram: Opposite sides and angles are congruent; diagonals bisect each other.
- Kite: Features two pairs of adjacent congruent sides, with diagonals that cross at right angles.
