Straight Lines

Equation of a straight line in various forms:
A line is defined as locus of points satisfying the condition "ax+by+c=0" where a,b,c are constants.
(i)The slope intercept form:
Slope :        
  

Line with slope 'm' and intercept 'c' on y axis is   
    
(ii)The point slope form:
     
 Line passing through point  and has slope 'm' is     


(iii)The two point form:
 Line passing through two points    and  is     

(iv)The intercept form :
 
 


Angle between two lines:
The acute angle between the lines is       where are slopes.
  • Condition for parallelism of lines:  
  • Condition for perpendicular of two lines:  
Distance of a point from a line:
The length of perpendicular from a point to a line ax+by+c=0 is
 

Lines through the point of intersection of two given lines:

lines passing through intersection of two lines   is

 

Equation of the bisector of the angle between two lines:


 
  • Rewrite the equation making constants positive
  • for + sign it is the bisector of angle that contains origin.
  •  If    ,obtuse angle contains origin and vice versa.
 Concurrency of lines: The lines

are concurrent if
   
OR

 

 Some standard points of a triangle:


(i)Centroid: Point of intersection of medians
  
(ii)Incentre:Point of intersection of the internal bisectors of the angles of triangle

 (iii)Circumcentre:Point of intersection of perpendicular bisector of its sides

 
(iv)Orthocentre:Point of intersection of its altitudes
