        Help!  

Formula/Equation/Property Name
Definition
Distance Formula   d=SqRt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]  
🗑
Midpoint Formula   (x,y) = ( (x1+x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2 )  
🗑
Slope   m = (y2 - y1)/ (x2-x1) , if x1 NOT EQ x2; undefined if x1 = x2  
🗑
Parallel Lines   Equal Slopes (m1 = m2)  
🗑
Perpendicular Lines   Product of slopes is -1 (m1 * m2 = -1)  
🗑
Vertical Line   x = a, where "a" is a constant number  
🗑
Horizontal Line   y = b, where "b" is a constant number  
🗑
Point-Slope form of the equation of a line   y - y1 = m(x - x1); "m" is the slope of the line, (x1, y1) are the coordinates of the point on the line  
🗑
GENERAL form of the equation of a LINE   Ax + By + C = 0, A, B not both 0  
🗑
Point-Slope-Intercept form of the equation of a line   y = mx + b; "m" is the slope of the line, "b" is the y-intercept  
🗑
STANDARD form of the equation of a CIRCLE   (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2; "r" is the radius of the circle, (h,k) are the coordinates of the center of the circle  
🗑
GENERAL form of the equation of a CIRCLE   x^2 + y^2 + ax +by +c = 0  
🗑
Equation of the Unit Circle   x^2 + y^2 = 1  
🗑
Quadratic Equation   ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where "a" NOT = 0  
🗑
Quadratic FORMULA   x = [-b plus or minus SqRt(b^2 - 4ac)] /(2a) AND (b^2 - 4ac) NOT negative; in the quadratic equation "a" is the coefficient of x^2, "b" the coefficient of x, and "c" is the pure numerical term.  
🗑
Discriminant   in the quadratic formula, b^2 - 4ac  
🗑
Quadratic Equation has 2 REAL DISTINCT solutions   the discriminant b^2 - 4ac > 0  
🗑
Quadratic Equation has 1 REAL solution REPEATED   the discriminant b^2 - 4ac = 0  
🗑
Quadratic Equation has NO REAL solutions   the discriminant b^2 - 4ac < 0  
🗑
Trichotomy Inequality Property   a < b or a = b or b < a "2 numbers are related to each other by one of the above 3 ways"  
🗑
Transitive Property of Inequality   If a < b AND b < c, THEN a < c. If a > b AND b > c, THEN a > c.  
🗑
Addition Property of Inequality   If a < b, THEN a + c < b + c. "If a first quantity is less than a second quantity, the same amount can be added to both quantities, and the new first quantity will still be less thant the new second quantity." If a > b, then a + c > b + c.  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Inequality: 2 quantities (a < b) multiplied by the same positive number   If a < b and if c > 0, then ac < bc. "The resulting new first quantity is still less than the resulting new second quantity."  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Inequality : 2 quantities (a < b) mulitplied by the same NEGATIVE number   If a < b and if c < 0, then ac > bc "The resulting new first quantity is then GREATER than the resulting new second quantity."  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Inequality: 2 quantities (a > b) multiplied by the same positive number   If a > b and if c > 0, then ac > bc. "The resulting new first quantity is still greater than the resulting new second quantity."  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Inequality : 2 quantities (a > b) mulitplied by the same NEGATIVE number   If a > b and if c < 0, then ac < bc "The resulting new first quantity is then LESS than the resulting new second quantity."  
🗑
Reciprocal Property of Inequality: a > 0   (1/a) > 0  
🗑
Reciprocal Property of Inequality: a < 0   (1/a) < 0  
🗑
Absolute value: |u| = a, a > 0   u = -a OR u = a  
🗑
Absolute value: |u| <or= a, a > 0   -a <or= u; u <or= a.  
🗑
Absolute value: |u| >or= a, a > 0   u <or= -a; u >or= a.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
