MYP 3 Unit 2 Linear Equations Revision
○ This is the gradient-intercept form
○ It clearly shows the gradient m and the y-intercept (0, c)
○ This is the point-gradient form
○ It clearly shows the gradient m and a point on the line (x1, y1)
○ This is the general form
○ You can quickly get the x-intercept and y-intercept
Parallel Lines
How are the equations of parallel lines connected?
● Parallel lines are always equidistant meaning they never intersect
● Parallel lines have the same gradient
○ If the gradient of line l1 is m1 and the gradient of line l2 is m2 then...

○ Example
Perpendicular Lines
How are the equations of perpendicular lines connected?
● Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles
● The gradients of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals
○ If the gradient of line l1 is m1 and gradient of line l2 is m2 then...
