1

Distance between two points with coordinates (a,b), (c,d)

$$\sqrt{\left(a-c\right)^2+\left(b-d\right)^2}$$

2

Slope of the line joining the points (a,b) and (c,d)

$$\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$$

3

Midpoint of the line segment joining (a,b) and (c,d)

$$\left(\dfrac{a+c}{2},\dfrac{b+d}{2}\right)$$

4

Two lines with slopes m and n are perpendicular then

$$m\times\ n=-1$$

5

Length of the perpendicular from (m,n) on the line ax + by + c = 0 is

$$\dfrac{\left(am+bn+c\right)}{\sqrt{\ a^2+b^2}}$$

6

Distance between two parallel lines ax + by + c = 0 and ax + by + d = 0 is

$$\dfrac{\left|d-c\right|}{\sqrt{\ a^2+b^2}}$$

7

Coordinates of a point P that divides the line joining A (m,n) and B (r,s) internally in the ratio x:y

$$\left(\dfrac{xr+ym}{x+y},\dfrac{xs+yn}{x+y}\right)$$

8

Centroid of a triangle with coordinates (a,b), (c,d), (e,f) is

$$\left(\dfrac{a+c+e}{3},\dfrac{b+d+f}{3}\right)$$

9

If the equation of circle is given by $$x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$$, Centre is given by

(-g,-f)

10

If the equation of circle is given by $$x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$$, Radius of the circle is given by
