Collinear Points: points that lie on the same line. Coplanar Points: points that lie in the same plane. Opposite Rays: 2 rays that lie on the same line, with a common endpoint and no other points in common.
slope (m ) =
, y - 1 =
( x - 2)
The equation of a line in ' point- slope form 'is
y - b = m (x - a)( m is the slope and (a , b ) a point on the line )
To calculate m use the ' gradient formula'
m = (y₂ - y₁ )/(x₂ - x₁ )
let (x₁, y₁ ) = (2 , 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (14 , 31) ← values chosen from table
m = (31 - 1 )/(14 - 2 ) =
=
