2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 51 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Straight Lines after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Equation of a line parallel to x-axis: $ y = b $
  • Equation of a line parallel to y-axis: $ x = c $
  • These are special cases where slope is 0 (for horizontal) or undefined (for vertical)
  • Each form is useful in different situations
  • All represent linear equations in two variables
  • Can be converted into one another
  • General form: $ Ax + By + C = 0 $
  • Slope = $ -A/B $, provided $ B \neq 0 $
  • x-intercept = $ -C/A $, y-intercept = $ -C/B $

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If a line has a negative slope, it must lie entirely in the second and fourth quadrants.

The general equation Ax + By + C = 0 always represents a line, even if A and B are both zero.

The angle between two lines is always given by tanθ = |(m₁ - m₂)/(1 + m₁m₂)|, so it's always acute.

Memory Tips

Equation of line parallel to x-axis is y = b

Equation of line parallel to y-axis is x = c

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c

Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
