Coordinate Geometry
The Basics:
Find the distance between two points using Pythagoras’ theorem.
The midpoint is the average (mean) of the coordinates.
The gradient = grad1
Parallel lines have the same gradient. The gradients of perpendicular lines have a product of -1.
Straight Lines:
Equation of a straight line is y = mx + c, where m = gradient, c = y-intercept.
The equation of a line, if we know one point and the gradient is found using:
(y – y1) = m(x – x1)
(If given two points, find the gradient first, then use the formula.)
Two lines meet at the solution to their simultaneous equations.
Note: When a line meets a curve there will be 0,1, or two solutions.
Use substitution to solve the simultaneous equations
Rearrange them to form a quadratic equation
Solve the quadratic by factorising, or by using the quadratic formula.
Find the y-coordinates by substituting these values into the original equations.
Other Graphs (also in Functions):
Sketch the curve by finding:
Where the graph crosses the y-axis.
Where the graph crosses the x-axis.
Where the stationary points are.
Whether there are any discontinuities.
What happens as m2
Circles:
Cartesian equation for a circle is (x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2 , where (a, b) is the centre of the circle and r is the radius.
Parametric Equations:
Sketch the graph by substituting in values and plotting points.
Find the cartesian form by either using substitution (use t = …), or by using the identity, m3
Find the gradient using the chain rule: m4

Trigonometry
The Basics from GCSE
Use Pythagoras and Trigonometry in right-angled triangles
Use Sine and Cosine rules in non-right-angled triangles
Radians
2p radians = 360 degrees, arc length s = rq, area of a sector A = m5
Angles on a coordinate grid are measured anticlockwise from the +ve x-axis.
The trig. functions are positive in these zones:
m6Use these zones to find the extra solutions
