Parallel lines: gradients are equal
Perpendicular lines: product of gradients is —1
Coordinate Geometry Formulate the equation of a circle from its centre and
of circles radius
Find the centre and radius of a circle from its equation
Apply geometry theorems from GCSE to circle problems
Radius and tangent at a point are perpendicular (use
to find equation of a tangent at that point)
Radius bisects a chord at right angles
A line bisecting a chord will pass through the centre
The angle in a semicircle is 90º
