ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES
Theorem:
If two lines L1 and L2 are intersecting
non vertical lines have slopes m1 and
m2 respectively and if the angle ϴ is
the measure of the angle from L1 to
L2, then
ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES
Proof:
From the concept in
Trigonometry:
ANGLE BETWEEN TWO LINES
Example
Find the angles of the
triangle whose vertices
are A(-1.1), B(2,-1) and
C(6,3).
A point whose coordinates are fixed is a
constant point and a point with at least one
THE LOCUS variable coordinate is called a variable
point.
OF A POINT
The curve traced by a variable point as it
moves in a plane is called the locus point.
THE LOCUS
OF A POINT
The locus of an equation is a curve
THE LOCUS
containing those points, and only those
OF A POINT points, whose coordinates satisfy the
equation.
Example:
Find the equation of the locus of a point which
moves so that its distance from the point C(3,4)
is always 5.

eq(1)
eq(2)
Find the equation of the line through the point (2, -3) and
perpendicular to the line 3x + 4y – 2 = 0
Solution:
Re-write the equation to slope-intercept form
STANDARD EQUATIONS OF LINES
Examples:
Find the equation of the line with an x intercept 2 that passes
through the mid-point of the line segment joining (3,7) and (5,0)
Solution:
Using the two-point form:
STANDARD EQUATIONS OF LINES
Examples:
Find the distance from the origin to the line 2x – y – 5 = 0
Solution:
Using the normal form:
If two lines are not parallel or
coincident, they intersect in a
INTERSECTIO single point. Since the coordinates
of this point satisfy the equations
N OF LINES of both lines, their values can be
found by solving the two
equations simultaneously for x
and y.

Example:
Solution:
Using the previous formula:
FAMILY OF LINES
𝟐 𝒙 − 𝒚 +𝒌 =𝟎
𝒚 − 𝟐= 𝒎( 𝒙 − 𝟏 )
FAMILY OF LINES
If A, B, and C are fixed constants, the family of
lines parallel to Ax + By + C = 0 has the
equation
Find the equation of the line that passes through (2,-1) and is
perpendicular to the line
To find the member of this family that passes through (2,-1), we substitute
x = 2 and y = -1; thus
are the equations of two intersecting lines, the equation
Solution: The family of lines through the point of intersection of the given lines is:
