Equation for straight line graphs
y = mx + c

Also written as ax + by + c = 0
1 of 7
Finding the gradient
Gradient = change in y / change in x

Gradient = m in equation
2 of 7
Making an equation with gradient and coordinates
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
3 of 7
Rules for parallel lines
Parallel lines have the same gradient
4 of 7
Rules for perpendicular lines
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal gradients
5 of 7
Finding the distance between two points
d = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
6 of 7
Area of triangle on a graph
Use distance between points to find lengths of sides

Use area = 1/2 base x height
