What to Focus On

  • Inclination is measured anticlockwise from the positive X-axis.
  • Inclination always lies between 0° and 180°.
  • Horizontal line: parallel to X-axis, slope 0.
  • Use the slope formula when two points are known.
  • m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
  • The formula comes from tan θ in a right triangle.
  • OP is the intercept on the X-axis.
  • OQ is the intercept on the Y-axis.
  • X-intercept is positive to the right of the origin and negative to the left.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The slope of a vertical line is 0.

The slope of a horizontal line is undefined.

In y = mx + c, c is the x-intercept.
