☼ Equation of a line :–
⟶ Parametric Equation of a line :
{ (x, y) / x = tx2+ (1 – t)x1, y = ty2+ (1 – t)y1 ; t ∈ R }
⟶ If a line passing through two distinct points A(x1, y1) and B (x2, y2), then
Cartesian equation of a line : or
⟶ Equation of X – axis : y = 0
⟶ Equation of Y – axis : x = 0
⟶ The line perpendicular to X – axis ( or parallel to Y – axis ) : x = a
⟶ The line perpendicular to Y – axis ( or parallel to X – axis ) : y = b
⟶ The standard equation of a line is ax + by + c = 0.
⟶ The perpendicular line to ax + by + c = 0 is : bx – ay + k = 0 : k ∈ R
⟶ The parallel line to ax + by + c = 0 is : ax + by + k = 0 : k ∈ R – { c }
⟶ If a line passing through the point A (x1, y1) with the slope = m, then
Equation of a line ( Slope – Point equation ) : y – y1 = m ( x – x1 )
⟶ Eq. of a line with X – intercept = a & Y – intercept = b is : \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1
⟶ Equation of a line with slope = m and y – intercept = c is : y = mx + c
⟶ If a line passing through the point A (x1, y1) which makes an angle θ with positive direction of X – axis, then equation of a line :
= : Where,
⟶ If length of a perpendicular line – segment drawn from the origin to the line is = p and this perpendicular line – segment makes an angle α with positive direction of X – axis, then equation of line is ( p – α Equation ) :
x cosα + y sinα = 1
