The Distance
Formula
Theorem 13-1
The distance between
two points (x1, y1) and
(x2, y2) is given by:
D = [(x2 – x1)2 + (y2-y1)2]½
Example

between points A(4, -2)
and B(7, 2)
d = 5

SECTION 13-2
Slope of a Line
SLOPE
is the ratio of vertical
change to the horizontal
change. The variable m
is used to represent
slope.
FORMULA FOR SLOPE
m = change in y-coordinate
change in x-coordinate
m = rise
run
Or
SLOPE OF A LINE
m = y2 – y1
x2 – x1
HORIZONTAL LINE
a horizontal line containing
the point
(a, b) is described by the
equation y = b and has
slope of 0
VERTICAL LINE
a vertical line containing
the point (c, d) is described
by the equation x = c and
has no slope
Slopes
Lines with positive slope
rise to the right.
Lines with negative slope
fall to the right.
The greater the absolute
value of a line’s slope, the
steeper the line
SECTION 13-3
Parallel and
Perpendicular Lines
Theorem 13-3
Two nonvertical lines are
parallel if and only if their
slopes are equal
Theorem 13-4
Two nonvertical lines are
perpendicular if and only
if the product of their
slopes is - 1

parallel to the line
containing points M and N.

Find the slope of a line
perpendicular to the
line containing points

Determine whether each pair
of lines is parallel,
perpendicular, or neither
7x + 2y = 14
7y = 2x - 5
Determine whether each
pair of lines is parallel,
perpendicular, or neither
-5x + 3y = 2
3x – 5y = 15

Vectors
DEFINITIONS
Vector– any quantity such
as force, velocity, or
acceleration, that has
both size (magnitude)
and direction
Vector
Vector AB is equal to the
ordered pair (change in
x, change in y)
DEFINITIONS
Magnitude of a vector- is
the length of the arrow
from point A to point B
and is denoted by the
symbol  AB 
Use the Pythagorean
Theorem or the Distance
Formula to find the
magnitude of a vector.
EXAMPLE
Given: Points P(-5,4) and
Q(1,2)
Find PQ
Find  PQ 
Scalar Multiple
In general, if the vector
PQ = (a,b)
then
kPQ = (ka, kb)
Equivalent Vectors
Vectors having the same
magnitude and the same
direction.
Perpendicular Vectors
Two vectors are
perpendicular if the
arrows representing
them have perpendicular
directions.
Parallel Vectors
Two vectors are parallel if
the arrows representing
them have the same
direction or opposite
directions.
EXAMPLE
Determine whether (6,-3)
and (-4,2) are parallel or
perpendicular.
EXAMPLE
Determine whether (6,-3)
and (2,4) are parallel or
perpendicular.
Adding Vectors

line.
13-6 Standard Form
The graph of any equation
