y = c - 3 x

Page 2 Midpoint Calculations and Line Properties

This page delves into midpoint calculations and more complex line properties, including perpendicular lines and distance calculations.

Definition The midpoint formula is used to find the center point between two coordinates x1+x2x₁+x₂/2, y1+y2y₁+y₂/2

Example A detailed calculation shows finding coordinates of point B(5,8) using gradient relationships.

Highlight The negative reciprocal relationship between perpendicular lines is demonstrated through practical examples.

Page 3 Axis Intersections and Distance Calculations

The content focuses on finding where lines intersect with axes and calculating distances between points using the distance formula.

Definition The distance formula between two points is √(x2x1(x₂-x₁² + y2y1y₂-y₁²)

Example Finding intersection points A0,80,8 and B12,0-12,0 with the axes.

Highlight The midpoint calculation 6,4-6,4 is shown as an important step in solving geometric problems.

This section covers more advanced problems involving multiple lines and their relationships.

Example Solving systems of equations to find intersection points of two lines.

Definition Two lines are perpendicular if their gradients are negative reciprocals of each other.

Highlight When converting between different forms of line equations, it's crucial to maintain the same mathematical relationship while changing the presentation.

Page 1 Linear Equations and Gradients

This page introduces fundamental concepts of linear equations and gradient calculations. The content focuses on working with different forms of linear equations and understanding the relationship between lines.

Definition The point-slope form of a line is y - y₁ = mxx1x - x₁, where m is the gradient and (x₁,y₁) is a point on the line.

Example A gradient calculation is shown where m = y2y1y₂-y₁/x2x1x₂-x₁ = -3

Highlight The relationship between perpendicular lines is demonstrated through their negative reciprocal gradients.

Vocabulary Gradient (m) represents the slope or steepness of a line.
