• 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

2) If m is negative, then the line is decreasing


y

3) If m =0, then the line is horizontal )‫(أفقي‬

4) If m is undefined , then the line is vertical )‫(عمودي‬

Ex: Find the slope of the lines in the following cases:

1) Passing through the points (3, 4) and (5, 10)

2) Passing through the points (-3, 4) and (1, -2)

3) Passing through the points (-2, 4) and (1, 4)

4) Passing through the points (2, 4) and (2, 10)

The Equation of a Line

Case1: Point-slope form


The equation of a line with slope m and passing through
the point ( x1 , y1 ) is given by: y − y1 = m ( x − x1 )

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

Case4: Slope-Intercept Form


The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept (0, b) is
given by y = mx+b

Important Note:
If y = mx+b, then the slope is the coefficient of x
8
Ex: Find the equation of the straight line in the following
cases. Write the answer in the form y = mx+b

1) passes through the points (-1,2) and (3, 2)

2) has undefined slope and passes through the point ( − 2,3)

3) has slope and passes through the point ( − 3, 4)

4) passes through the points (5, -6) and (2, -8)

Parallel )‫(متوازي‬and Perpendicular )‫ (متعامد‬Lines

Consider the two lines

l1 : m1 x + b AND l2 : m2 x + b

1) l1 and l2 are parallel if and only if m1 = m2

1
2) l1 and l2 are perpendicular if and only if m1 = −
m2
OR m1  m2 = −1

11
Ex: Determine whether the two lines
2 x + 3 y = 1 AND 3x − 2 y = 4
are parallel or perpendicular.

Ex: Find the equation of a line that passes through the


point (1, 3) and parallel to the line 3x + 4y = -24

12
Ex: Find the equation of a line that passes through the
point (-3, 4) and perpendicular to the line 2x – y = 7

Ex: If the two lines 3x -5y +1=0 and ky -2x +4 =0 are


perpendicular, then find k.

13
Ex: If (2,3) , (4,2) and (k,0) are three point on the same straight
line , then find k.

14
Point of Intersection )‫(نقطة التقاطع‬
To find the point of intersection between two lines solve the two
equations simultaneously.

Ex: Find the point of intersection between to the two lines


2y - 3x =12 and y + 2x + 1= 0.
Solution
y + 2 x + 1 = 0  y = −2 x − 1 Substitute in the other equation
 2(−2 x − 1) − 3 x = 12
− 4 x − 2 − 3 x = 12
− 7 x = 14
x = −2
 y = −2(−2) − 1 = 3
Hence, the point of intersection is (-2,3) 15
The previous question can be also solved graphically
