• Slopes of Lines )(الميل
P2 ( x2 , y2 )
P1 ( x1 , y1 ) Change in y
Change in x
change in y y y2 − y1
The slope = m = = =
change in x x x2 − x1

Cases:
1) If m is positive, then the line is increasing
y
x
3
3) If m =0, then the line is horizontal )(أفقي
4
Ex: Find the slope of the lines in the following cases:
Case2:
The equation of horizontal line (slope =0) is give by y = b
y
y =b
x
7
Case3:
The equation of a vertical line (slope is undefined) is given by
x= a y
x =a
Important Note:
If y = mx+b, then the slope is the coefficient of x

Ex: Find the equation of the straight line in the following
cases. Write the answer in the form y = mx+b

11
Ex: Determine whether the two lines
2 x + 3 y = 1 AND 3x − 2 y = 4
are parallel or perpendicular.
12
Ex: Find the equation of a line that passes through the
point (-3, 4) and perpendicular to the line 2x – y = 7
13
Ex: If (2,3) , (4,2) and (k,0) are three point on the same straight
line , then find k.

Point of Intersection )(نقطة التقاطع
To find the point of intersection between two lines solve the two
equations simultaneously.
