---|---|---|---|---|---|
parallel lines | coplanar lines that do not intersect
🗑
|
||||
parallel planes | planes that do not intersect
🗑
|
||||
skew lines | lines that do not intersect and are not coplanar
🗑
|
||||
transversal | a line that intersects two or more coplanar lines at two different points
🗑
|
||||
same side (consecutive) interior angles | interior angles that lie on the same side of the transversal
🗑
|
||||
alternate interior angles | nonadjacent interior angles that line on opposite sides of the transversal
🗑

alternate exterior angles | nonadjacent exterior angles that lie on opposite sides of the transversal
🗑
|
||||
corresponding angles | lie on the same side of the transversal and on the same side of the lines.
🗑
|
||||
Corresponding Angles Postulate | if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of corresponding angles is congruent.
🗑
|
||||
Alternate Interior Angles Theorem | If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate interior angles is congruent.
🗑
|
||||
Consecutive Interior Angles Theorem | If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive interior angles is supplementary.
🗑
|
||||
Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem | If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate exterior angles is congruent.
🗑
|
||||
Perpendicular Transversal Theorem | In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.
🗑
|
||||
slope | ratio of the change along the y-axis to the change along the x-axis between any two points on the line.
🗑
|
||||
Four Different Types of Slope | (positive slope, negative slope, zero slope, undefined slope)
🗑
|
||||
rate of change | how a quantity y changes in relationship to a quantity x.
🗑

||||
Slope of Parallel Lines Postulate | Two nonvertical lines have the same slope IFF they are parallel. Are vertical lines are parallel.
🗑
|
||||
Slope of Perpendicular Lines Postulate | Two nonvertical lines are perpendicular IFF the product of their slope is -1. Vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular.
🗑
|
||||
Slope-Intercept Form | y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
🗑
|
||||
point-slope form | y-y1=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is any point on the line and m is the slope of the line.
🗑
|
||||
Horizontal Line | The equation of a horizontal line is y=b where b is the y-intercept of the line.
🗑
|
||||
Vertical Line | The equation of a vertical line is x=a, where a is the x-intercept of the line.
🗑
|
||||
Postulate 3.4: Converse of Corresponding Angles Postulate | If two lines are cut by a transversal so that corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
🗑
|
||||
Postulate 3.5 Parallel Postulate | If given a line and a point not on the line, then there exists exactly one line through the point that is parallel to the given line.
🗑
|
||||
Theorem 3.5 Alternate Exterior Angle Converse | If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alterate exterior angles is congruent, then the two lines are parallel.
🗑
|
||||
Theorem 3.6 Consecutive Interior Angles Converse | If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of consecutive interior angles is supplementary, then the lines are parallel.
🗑
|
||||
Theorem 3.7: Alternate Interior Angles Converse | If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate interior angles is congruent, then the lines are parallel.
🗑
|
||||
Theorem 3.8: Perpendicular Transversal Converse | In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallell.
🗑
|
||||
Distance between a point and a line | The distance between a line and a point not on the line is the length of the segment perpendicular to the line from the point.
🗑
|
||||
Postulate 3.6 Perpendicular Postulate | If given a line and a point not on the line, then there exists exactly one line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line.
🗑
|
||||
equidistant | the distance between two lines measured along a perpendicular line to the lines is always the same.
🗑
|
||||
Distance between Parallel Lines | the distance betweeen 2 parallel lines is the perpendicular distance between one of the lines and any point on the other line.
🗑
|
||||
Theorem 3.9 Two Lines Equidistant from a Third | In a plane, if two lines are equidistant from a third line, then the two lines are parallel to each other.
🗑
