Area of a Triangle :

Area of a Triangle :

Let A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3) be the vertices of a triangle.

Then the area of ΔABC is the absolute value of the expression :

The vertices A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3) of ΔABC are said to be “taken in order” if A, B, C are taken in counter-clock wise direction. If we do this, then area of DABC will never be negative.

Collinearity of three points :

Let A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2) and C(x3, y3) be the three distinct points. If these three points are collinear (lie on the same straight line), then ΔABC = 0.

That is,

Area of a Quadrilateral :

Let A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3) and D(x3, y3) be the vertices of a quadrilateral.

Then the area of quadrilateral ABCD is

Slope of a straight line :

If θ is the angle of inclination of a non-vertical straight line, then tanθ is called the slope or gradient of the line and is denoted by m.

Therefore the slope of the straight line is

m = tanθ

Slope of a straight line when two points are given :

Let A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) be two distinct points on the line segment AB. Then, the slope of the line segment AB is

Slopes of parallel lines :

Let m1 and m2 be the slopes of two lines. If the two lines are parallel, then

m1 = m2

That is, if two lines are parallel, then the slopes are equal.

Slopes of perpendicular lines :

Let m1 and m2 be the slopes of two lines. If the two lines are perpendicular, then

m1m2 = -1

That is, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of slopes equals to -1.

Equation of x-axis :

y = 0

Equation of y-axis :

x = 0

Equation of a straight line parallel to x-axis :

y = k

Equation of a straight line parallel to y-axis :

x = c

Equation of a line in general form :

Ax + By + C = 0

Equation of a line in standard form :

Ax + By = C

Equation of a line in slope-intercept form :

y = mx + b

where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

Equation of a line in point-slope form :

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where 'm' is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Equation of a line in intercept form :

where 'a' is the x-intercept and 'b' is the y-intercept.

Angle between two straight lines :

Let the equations of the two straight lines be

y = m1x + b1

y = m2x + b2

Then the angle between these two straight lines is

Distance between a point and a line :

The distance from a point P(x1, y1) to a line ax + by + c = 0 is

Distance between two parallel lines :

Let the equations of two parallel lines be

ax + by + c1 = 0

ax + by + c2 = 0

Then the distance between these two parallel lines is

Equation of a circle in general form :

x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

where the center is C(-g, -f) and the radius is

Equation of a circle in standard form :

(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2

where the center is C(h, k) and the radius is r.

Equation of a circle in standard form with center (0, 0) :

x2 + y2 = r2
