Coordinate Geometry Formulas

Distance Formula Between Two Points

Explanation: Calculates the distance between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\).

Formula: \(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\)

Section Formula

Explanation: Determines the coordinates of a point dividing a line segment internally in the ratio \(m:n\).

Formula: \(\left(\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n}\right)\)

Area of Triangle When Three Coordinates Given

Explanation: Calculates the area of a triangle with vertices at \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\).

Formula: \(\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right|\)

Parallel Lines

Explanation: Lines with the same slope.

Formula: If \(m_1 = m_2\), the lines are parallel.

Perpendicular Lines

Explanation: Lines with slopes that are negative reciprocals.

Formula: If \(m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1\), the lines are perpendicular.

Slope of a Line

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:

$$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $$

Relation of Slope of Two Perpendicular and Parallel Lines

Explanation: Parallel lines have equal slopes; perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to \(-1\).

Formula: Parallel: \(m_1 = m_2\), Perpendicular: \(m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1\)

Representation of Line

Explanation: General form of a line equation.

General equation: \(Ax + By + C = 0\)

Slope-intercept form: \(y=mx+c\)

Point slope form: \(y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\)

Two point form: \(y-y_1=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}(x-x_1)\)

Slope intercept form: \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\)

Equation of Two Perpendicular and Parallel Lines

Explanation: Equations for lines based on their slopes.

Formula: Parallel: \(y = mx + c\), Perpendicular: \(y = -\frac{1}{m}x + c\)

Equation of Perpendicular Line Passing Through a Point

Explanation: Finds the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line passing through a specific point \((x_1, y_1)\).

Formula: \(y - y_1 = -\frac{1}{m}(x - x_1)\)

Distance of a Line from a Given Point

Explanation: Calculates the perpendicular distance from a point \((x_1, y_1)\) to a line \(Ax + By + C = 0\).

Formula: \(d = \frac{|Ax_1 + By_1 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}\)

Angle Between Two Lines

If two lines have slopes m1 and m2, the angle theta between them is given by:

$$ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| $$

Sum Squared Error

Explanation: Measures the total deviation of predicted values from actual values.

Formula: \(SSE = \sum_{i=1}^n (y_i - \hat{y}_i)^2\)
