Coordinate Geometry Notes

This document discusses key concepts in coordinate geometry including the equation of a line as y=mx+c, calculating gradient as the change in y over the change in x between two points, using Pythagoras' theorem to find distances, finding the length of a hypotenuse using a2 + b2 = c2, and that parallel lines have the same gradient while perpendicular lines have gradients that are negative reciprocals of each other.
