Three methods are discussed for finding the distance from a point to a line in coordinate geometry
A method for finding the distance from a point to a line in coordinate geometry using a formula
A method for finding the distance from a point to a line in coordinate geometry using trigonometry
A method for finding the distance from a point to a line in coordinate geometry using two line equations
A method for finding the distance from a point to a vertical or horizontal line in coordinate geometry
Definiton of the equation of a straight line, in 'point - slope' form: y = m(x-Px) + Py
Definiton of the equation of a straight line, in 'slope and intercept' form: y = mx+b
Animation showing that in any triangle, the centroid, circumcenter and orthocenter are always collinear - they always lie on a straight line, called the Euler line.
Definition of 'horizontal' and comparison to its cousn 'vertical'
Definiton and equation for a horizontal line in coordinate geometry
How to find the intercept of a line, given the coordinates of two points on the line
Determining where two straight lines intersect in coordinate geometry
Introduction to the concept of lines in coordinate geometry.
Definition of a line
Definition of a line when the defining points are on the coordinate plane
Definition of 'Line Bisector' and a general discussion of bisection. Link to 'angle bisector'
Definition of a line segment, a line linking two points.
Definition of a line segment when the defining points are on the coordinate plane
Finding the midpoint of a line segment given the coordinates of the endpoints
Definition and properties of parallel lines
How to determine if lines are parallel in coordinate geometry
Definition of 'Perpendicular Bisector'
Perpendicular definition: Perpendicular simply means 'at right angles'. A line is perpendicular to another if they meet at 90 degrees.
How to determine if lines are perpendicular in coordinate geometry
Definition of a ray - a type of line.
Reflection - a transformation that creates a mirror image of a line segment
Definition of the slope of a line given the coordinates of two points on the line, includes slope as a ratio and an angle.
Definition of the slope of a line given the coordinates of two points on the line, includes slope as a ratio and an angle.
Definition and properties of a tangent
Definition of a transversal. A line that cuts across two or more (usually parallel) lines. Also perpendicular transversal
