2 2
2. Distance Formula : √ (x 2  – x 1 ) 2  + (y 2 –y 1 ) 2  

rise y 2− y 1
3. Slope Formula : Slope m = =
run x 2−x 1

4. Slope Intercept Form : y = mx + c

5. Point Slope Form : y – y1 = m (x – x1)

Parallel Lines and Perpendicular Lines

Parallel Line: Then, ma = mb
a b

Perpendicular Line:

c
d 1
Then, mc = −¿ (or)
md

mc × md = -1
Important Algebraic Formulae

1) (a+b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
2) (a−¿b)2 = a2 −¿ 2ab + b2
3) a2 −¿ b2 = (a+b) (a−¿b)
4) (a+b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
5) (a−¿ b)3 = a3 −¿ 3a2b + 3ab2 −¿ b3
6) a3 + b3 = (a+b)(a2 – ab + b2 )
7) a3 −¿ b3 = (a−¿ b)(a2 + ab −¿ b2 )
