Subsection 9.6.2 Key Concepts
-
-
Slopes of Horizontal and Vertical Lines.
The slope of a horizontal line is zero.The slope of a vertical line is undefined. -
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines.
-
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is
that is, ifor if one of the lines is horizontal and one is vertical.
-
The distance between two points is the length of the segment joining them.
-
The midpoint of a segment is the point halfway between its endpoints, so that the distance from the midpoint to either endpoint is the same.
-
A circle is the set of all points in a plane that lie at a given distance, called the radius, from a fixed point called the center.
-
Hyperbola.
-
Conic Sections.
The graph of is-
a circle of
-

A system of two quadratic equations may have up to four solutions.
