LESSON 2 - DISTANCE, GRADIENT, MIDPOINT
 The gradient of a line is its slope or steepness.
 The distance between points A and B:

𝐴𝐵 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
 The gradient of a line:
𝑦2 − 𝑦1
𝑚=
𝑥2 − 𝑥1
 The midpoint between two points:
𝑥2 + 𝑥1 𝑦2 + 𝑦1

LESSON 5 – EQUATIONS OF PARALLEL LINES

When two lines are parallel, their gradients are equal to each other
EXAMPLE
1. Determine the equation of a line that passes through the point (2;3) and is parallel to the
line 2y = 4x +3
Solution

2. Suppose a line passes through two points A(-2 ; -5) and B(1 ; 4). Determine the equation
of the line that passes through the point (2 ; 3) and is parallel to the line above.
