    Uploaded by

    John Wilbert Orilla
    This document summarizes key equations and concepts related to geometry, including: 1) Formulas for distance, midpoints, lines, and the angle between intersecting lines. 2) The general equation of conic sections like circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. 3) Equations for specific forms of each conic section with notes on identifying which type of section it represents. 4) An overview of the polar coordinate system using a fixed point and line as references.

    SUMMARY OF EQUATIONS AND CONCEPTS

    Distance Formula

    Distance from a Point to a Line




    Midpoint Formulas

    Two Point Form:

    Standard Equation of Lines


    Point Slope Form:
    NOTE:
    Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal. If their
    slopes are negative reciprocal of each other (or the Slope Intercept Form:
    product of the slopes is equal to -1) then they are
    perpendicular.
    Intercept Form:

    Angle between Two Intersecting Lines

    General Equation for Conic Sections


    If not rotated:

    Circle
    The locus of point that moves such that its distance General Equation
    from a fixed point called the center is constant. The
    constant distance is called the radius, r of the circle. (e
    = 0)
    Standard Equation with Center at the Origin:

    Standard Equation with Center at the (h,k):

    NOTE:
    If and A = C the conic section is a
    circle
    General Equation
    Parabola
    The locus of point that moves such that it is always
    equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line. The
    fixed point is called focus and the fixed line is called
    directrix. (e=1) Standard Equations with Vertex at the Origin:

    Standard Equation with Vertex at the (h,k):

    Latus Rectum:

    NOTE:
    If the conic section is a parabola
    General Equation

    Ellipse
    The locus of point that moves such that the sum of its Standard Equation with Center at the Origin:
    distances from two fixed points called the foci is
    constant. The constant sum is the length of the major (if major axis is along x)
    axis, 2a. (e<1)
    (if major axis is along y)

    Standard Equation with Center at the (h,k):


    (if major axis is along x)

    (if major axis is along y)

    Relationship between a, b and c:

    NOTE:
    If and A C the conic section is
    an ellipse
    General Equation
    Hyperbola
    The locus of point that moves such that the difference
    of its distance from two fixed points called the foci
    is constant. The constant difference is the length of the Standard Equation with Center at the Origin:
    transverse axis, 2a. (e>1) (if transverse axis is along x)
    (if transcerse axis is along y)

    Standard Equation with Center at the (h,k):


    (if transverse axis is along x)

    (if transverse axis is along y)

    Relationship between a, b and c:

    NOTE:
    If and one of either A or C is
    negative, the conic section is hyperbola
    Distance between Two Points in Polar Plane

    The Polar Coordinate System


    The references are a fixed point and a fixed line. The
    fixed point is called the pole and the fixed line is called
    the polar axis. The location of a point is expressed
    according to its distance from the pole and its angle
    from the polar axis. The distance is denoted by r and
    the angle by .
