Higher Maths - Straight Line

?
How can you tell if two lines are parallel?
They have equal gradients
1 of 10
What are collinear points?
Points that lie on the same straight line
2 of 10
How can you tell if points are collinear?
If two lines are parallel AND share a common point
3 of 10
What do you need to write to communicate your findings in a collinearity question?
1. the two gradients that are equal to each other (e.g Mab = Mbc) 2. therefore which lines are parallel 3. The common point 4. All points that are collinear 5. Refer back to question if necessary

Any two lines which meet each other at 90° are...
Perpendicular
5 of 10
How do you find the perpendicular gradient of another gradient?
Divide it by -1 (i.e if m=8 then m⊥= 8÷-1 = -1/8) OR swap the numerator and denominator and then multiply by -1 (i.e m=4/3 m⊥=-3/4)

If you see the words "positive direction of x-axis" what relationship will you use?
m = tanθ
