📚 Quick Study Guide

  • 📐 Parallel Lines: Two lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope.
  • 📈 Slope-Intercept Form: A line can be represented by the equation $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
  • Equal Slopes: If line 1 has a slope of $m_1$ and line 2 has a slope of $m_2$, then for the lines to be parallel, $m_1 = m_2$.
  • ✍️ Finding the Equation: Given a point $(x_1, y_1)$ and a slope $m$, the point-slope form of a line is $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$.
  • 🧭 Horizontal Lines: Horizontal lines have a slope of 0 and their equation is of the form $y = c$, where $c$ is a constant.
  • 🧱 Vertical Lines: Vertical lines have an undefined slope and their equation is of the form $x = c$, where $c$ is a constant. Parallel vertical lines will have different $c$ values.
