Distance Formula

Last modified on 2016-03-02


According to the Distance Formula, the distance d between any 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) on a coordinate plane can be expressed as

d2 = (x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2  More...

Slope of perpendicular line

Last modified on 2014-08-25


Suppose you have 2 lines: l and k. If l and k are perpendicular to each other, then the slope of perpendicular line k is the negative reciprocal of the slope of line l, ie Slopek = -1/Slopel

The following shows you how to determine the slope of a line and the slope of its perpendicular line:  More...

Circles in the Coordinate Plane

Last modified on 2016-03-02


A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are the same distance from the center. Suppose we have a circle centered at (0, 0). If (x, y) is a point on the circle, then the distance from the center to this point would be the radius, r. Given any point on the circle, x is the horizontal distance to y-axis and y is the vertical distance to x-axis. This forms a right triangle. From the Pythagorean Theorem, the equation of a circle centered at the origin is x2+y2=r2.  More...
