SAT MATH FORMULAS TO KNOW

LINES
For a line that goes through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
𝑦𝑦2 −𝑦𝑦1 𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑒
Slope of the line that connects the points, m = =
𝑥𝑥2 −𝑥𝑥1 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟
𝑥𝑥1 +𝑥𝑥2 𝑦𝑦1 +𝑦𝑦2
Distance Formula = �(𝑥𝑥2 − 𝑥𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦𝑦2 − 𝑦𝑦1 )2 Midpoint Formula = � , �
2 2

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b slope = m, y-int = (0, b)


𝐴𝐴 𝐶𝐶
Standard Form = Ax + By = C slope = − , y-int = �0, �
𝐵𝐵 𝐵𝐵

Horizontal line: y = #, m = 0 Vertical Line: x = #, m = undefined


Parallel lines = same slope, diff y-int Perpendicular lines = slopes are opposite reciprocals (i.e. 1/3, -3)
