Introduction:
This material includes brief review of the basic terms concerning coordinates of a
point, distance between two points, slopes and equations of lines.

I. The Cartesian Plane

Below is a diagram of a Cartesian plane or a rectangular coordinate system, or a


coordinate plane.

The two axes separate the plane into four regions called quadrants. Points can lie
in one of the four quadrants or on an axis. The points on the x-axis to the right of the
origin correspond to positive numbers; while to the left of the origin correspond to
negative numbers. The points on the y-axis above the origin correspond to positive
numbers; while below the origin correspond to negative numbers.

An ordered pair of real numbers, called the coordinates of a point, locates a point
in the Cartesian plane. Each ordered pair corresponds to exactly one point in the
Cartesian plane.

Solution: (-3+8, -6+9) or (5,3)

5. If C traveled 7 units to the left and 15 units upward, at what point is it now?

Solution: (-3-7, -6+15) or (-10,9)

II. The Straight Line

A. The distance between two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) is ( x1 − x2 ) 2 + ( y1 − y2 ) 2 .

Example 6. Given the points P(3,1) and Q(15,6). Determine the length PQ.

Solution: PQ = (3 - 15)2 + (1 - 6)2 or (15 - 3)2 + (6 - 1)2

= (- 12)2 + (- 5)2 = 144 + 25 = 169 = 13

For example 7-10: Given the points R(-4,-1), V (-1, -5) and D(-4, -5).

Example 7) What is the length RV?

Solution: (- 4 + 1)2 + (- 1 + 5)2 = 5

Example 8) What is the length VD?


Solution: (- 4 + 1)2 + (- 5 + 5)2 =3

Example 9) What is the length RD?

Solution: (- 4 + 4)2 + (- 1 + 5)2 = 4

Example 10) What is the perimeter of triangle RVD?

Solution: 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 units

B. Slope of a line

a) The slope of the non-vertical line containing A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) is


y1 − y2 y − y1
m= or m = 2 .
x1 − x2 x2 − x1

b) The slope of the line parallel to the x-axis is 0.


c) The slope of the line parallel to the y-axis is undefined.
d) The slope of the line that leans to the right is positive.

C. The Equation of the line

a) In general, a line has an equation of the form ax + by + c = 0 where


a, b, c are real numbers and that a and b are not both zero.

b) The equation of the line passing through A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2) is


y2 − y1
y − y1 = ( x − x1 ) or y − y1 = m( x − x1 ) .
x2 − x1

Example 13. Given the points P(3,1) and Q(15,6). Determine the equation of the line
PQ .

Solution: Using the point P(3,1) the equation is

6- 1
y–1= (x-3)
15 - 3

y-1 = 5/12 (x-3)

(y-1) (12) = (5) (x - 3)

12y – 12 = 5x – 15

0 = 5x -12y -3
5x -12y -3 = 0.

Another solution: Using point Q(15,6)

6- 1
y-6 = (x-15)
15 - 3

y-6 = 5/12 (x-15)

(y-6)(12) = (5) (x-15)


12 y – 72 = 5x – 75

0 = 5x – 12 y – 3
5x – 12y – 3 = 0.

D. Different forms of the Equation of the line

a) General form: ax + by + c = 0.
b) Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-
intercept.
c) Point slope form: y − y1 = m( x − x1 ) where (x1, y1) is any point on the
line.
y2 − y1
d) Two point form: y − y1 = ( x − x1 ) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are
x2 − x1
any two points on the line.
x y
e) Intercept form: + = 1 where a is the x-intercept and b is the
a b
y-intercept.

Example 14. Determine the slopes of the following lines:


a) 4x – 2y + 7 = 0

b) x = 9
c) y = -10
x y
d) + =1
6 8

Solutions:

a) 4x – 2y + 7 = 0

2y = 4x + 7
4x + 7
y=
2
The slope is 2.

b) x = 9 This is vertical. The slope is undefined.

c) y = -10 This is horizontal. The slope is 0.

x y
d) + =1
6 8

4x + 3y = 24
3y = -4x +24
- 4 x + 24
y=
3

The slope is -4/3.


Villena-Diaz 6

Reminders:

• A line that leans to the right has positive slope. The steeper the line, the higher
the slope is.

m n p

The slopes of lines m, n, p are all positive. Of the three slopes,


the slope of line m is the lowest, the slope of p is the highest.

• A line that leans to the left has negative slope. The steeper the line, the lower the
slope is.

w x y

The slopes of lines w, x, y are all negative. Of the three slopes,


w is the highest, while y has the lowest (because the values are negative.)

E. Parallel and Perpendicular lines

Given two non-vertical lines p and q so that p has slope m1 and q has slope m2.
f) If p and q are parallel, then m1 = m2.
g) If p and q are perpendicular to each other, then m1m2 = -1.

Example 15. Given the points P(3,1) and Q(15,6).


a) Determine the equation of the line passing through the point R(-1,-2) and parallel
to PQ .

b) Determine the equation of the line passing through the point R(-1,-2) and
perpendicular to PQ .

Example 16. Determine the equation of the line passing through D(4, 7) and parallel
to the line 3x – 2y -8 = 0.

Example 17. Determine the equation of the line passing through D(4, 7) and
perpendicular to the line 3x – 2y -8 = 0.
