Coordinate Geometry

This document provides formulas and examples for coordinate geometry, including: - Gradient is rise over run and is calculated as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) - The equation of a straight line is y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept - The length of a straight line between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is calculated as √(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2 It then works through multiple examples of calculating the gradient, equation, and length of lines given different inputs like coordinates, gradients, intercepts, and whether lines are parallel.
