how to find equation of line help with as maths

Piet Mondriaan is a famous Dutch artist. Are you able to give the equation of each line in one of his paintings as you can see on the picture to the left? In this section you will learn all you need to know about Coordinate Geometry to pass your AS Maths exams. You will learn about lines, gradients, perpendicular lines, coordinates, points of intersection, length of line segments and much more. I will explain to you how to find the equation of a line in various situations. You will also understand how to find the equation of perpendicular lines. Then you will learn how to calculate the gradient of a line using various methods. Finally I will explain to you how to calculate the length of a line segment and how to find points of intersection. I will solve many past paper question for you so you have many examples to study during your maths revision to prepare yourself for your own AS maths exam. Let me know if you have any further AS maths questions and I will help you! You can also click here which will bring you to a section with even more videos explaining what coordinate geometry is.

How to find the equation of (perpendicular) lines

An important part of your AS maths exam will be to find the equation of a line. Check the following video in which I solve a past exam question for you. I will show you how to find the equation of a line including the equation of a perpendicular line. You will learn what is meant with the gradient intercept form to write an equation. While finding the equation you will also learn what gradient is and how to calculate the gradient of a line. Finally I will explain to you how to find the point of intersection of two lines. Good luck and have fun!

Continue with your maths revision and check the next video in which I solve another AS Maths Past Paper Question for you. You will again learn how to find the equation of a perpendicular line but now in a different situation as before. I will also explain to you how to calculate the length of a line segment and therefore how to find the perimeter of particular shapes. Studying this question will properly prepare yourself to pass your own AS Maths exam.

Understand more about Coordinate Geometry

Study the next two videos during your maths revision too. I solve more Past AS Maths Exam Questions for you explaining all you need to know about Coordinate Geometry to pass your own AS maths exam. You will learn more about how to find the equation of a line, including perpendicular lines, in different situations. I will explain to you again what the gradient of a line is and how to calculate the gradient. Overall I will teach you step by step how to solve these AS maths questions about coordinate geometry so you can pass your own maths exams. Let me know if you have any more maths questions. Mr John

Great job! You now understand all you need to know about Coordinate Geometry to pass your AS Maths exams. You have learnt how to calculate the gradient and what the relationship is between gradients of parallel and perpendicular lines. I have also explained to you how to find equations of lines and how to calculate the length of a line segment. Continue learning by following the link below. It will bring you to a page where I will explain Quadratic equations to you. You will understand how to solve quadratic equations and how to determine the amount of real roots. I will explain to you what the discriminant is, how to solve quadratic inequalities and much more!
