3 Concept Maps

Decision Tree for Choosing the Right Line Equation Form

Decision Tree for Choosing the Right Line Equation Form

The map in words

  • Have Information About Line?
    • What do you know?
      • Slope m and Point x₁,y₁: Use Point-Slope Form y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
        • Convert to General Form ax + by + c = 0
          • Final Answer
      • Two Points P₁ and P₂: Use Two-Point Form (y-y₁)/(y₂-y₁) = (x-x₁)/(x₂-x₁)
      • Slope m and y-intercept c: Use Slope-Intercept Form y = mx + c
      • x-intercept a and y-intercept b: Use Intercept Form x/a + y/b = 1
      • Parallel to given line through point: Use Parallel Condition m₁ = m₂
      • Perpendicular to given line through point: Use Perpendicular Condition m₁ × m₂ = -1

Step-by-step process for calculating distance between two points

Step-by-step process for calculating distance between two points

The map in words

  • Two Points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂)
    • Calculate Δx = x₂ - x₁
      • Square both differences
        • Add: Δx² + Δy²
          • Take square root
            • Distance d = √[(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²
    • Calculate Δy = y₂ - y₁

Overview of line segment division formulas and their properties

Overview of line segment division formulas and their properties

The map in words

  • Line Segment Formulas
    • Mid-point
      • Average of x-coordinates
      • Average of y-coordinates
      • Divides segment in 1:1 ratio
    • Internal Division
      • Point lies between A and B
      • Uses ratio m:n
      • Weighted average formula
    • External Division
      • Point lies outside segment
      • Uses same ratio m:n
      • Minus sign in numerator
