SAT Math Formulas, Definitions

SAT: Heart of Algebra Formulas

Lines / Linear Growth Simple / Compound Interest Distance / Midpoint


Compounding - Annual Rate: Distance between two points:
Standard Form: Ax + By = C
Slope = - A / B

Compounding - Non-Annual:
Point-Slope Form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)
Slope = m Midpoint:

Simple Interest
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Slope = m

Slope: Definitions Distance / Rate

X-intercept: Where the line crosses the Distance = Rate * Time


Parallel lines: Slope = same x-axis; Where y = 0
Perpendicular lines: Other line’s slope
is negative reciprocal of 1st line Y-intercept: Where the line crosses the
m1 * m2 = -1 y-axis; Where x = 0
SAT: Data Analysis Formulas

Statistics Percents

Mean:

Median = Middle value in the list;


Average middle numbers if even
number of values

Probability
Mode = Value that appears most often

Standard Deviation = Measure of how


far the numbers deviate from the mean
(average)

Triangles
● Equilateral: Length of sides are equal; All
angles are 60 degrees. The area of an
equilateral triangle is A = ((side)2 * √3)/4.
● Isosceles: Two equal sides. The angles
