One point and a gradient (Point slope form)

y - y_1 = m( x - x_1 ),\,

Different forms of the Straight line

The Gradient(Slope)-intercept form

y = m x + c

Where m = gradient = difference in y divided by the difference in x

equation of a straight line



The Intercept form

Intercept Form

Intercept Form Equation of a Line

http://www.vitutor.com/geometry/line/intercept_form.html

The General form

a x + b x + c = 0



Angle between points is given

If you are given an angle (Θ) and you must determine the gradient: The tangent of the angle is the gradient of the line: tanΘ = m


The equation is given

y = m x + c
m is the gradient.

Two points are given

m = y 2 y 1 x 2 x 1



Parallel lines
If two lines are parallel, their gradients are the same.




Perpendicular lines
If two lines are perpendicular, their gradients are opposite and inverse of one another.

Manipulation of technical formulee

Rules for manipulating formulas 

  1. What you do on the one side of the equal sign you must do on the other side.
  2. If you must make an exponent the subject, you use logs.
  3. The inverse operation of a 'root' is a 'power'.
    T h e   i n v e r s e   o f       3   i s   (   ) 3
Make u the subject of:

v = u + a t v a t = u u = v a t

Linear equations

Linear equations

If the variable occurs more than once first simplify. The variables must all be taken to one side and then added or subtracted.

If the variable occurs in the denominator of a fraction, it must be removed. This is done by multiplying by the variable throughout the equation.
