Coordinate Geometry

Key Formulas

Distance = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)
Midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)

Lines

  • Slope: m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
  • Point-slope: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • Parallel lines: same slope
  • Perpendicular lines: slopes are negative reciprocals (m₁ × m₂ = -1)
  • SAT Applications

  • Distance between two points
  • Finding the midpoint
  • Equation of a line through two points
  • Identifying parallel/perpendicular lines from equations
