Line contains two end points is called segment.Line segment expressed with a connected piece of line.line segment named by its endpoints.
A ray contains starting points only but it doesn't have an any ending points. A ray is a part of a line and we draw only a parts of a line and marked with arrow head at it two ends to represent that rays extends endlessly in both directions.
A point represent a place in a plane with a help of pencil, a point is nothing but the dot, it has no dimension or no width, it’s only a simple black dot. Co ordinates of a point express particular place in a segment for representation.
Having problem with Finding Inflection Points keep reading my upcoming posts, i will try to help you.
Lines Rays and Points Names:
Lines,rays and points names are as follows
Different names of lines:
Parallel line segment:
When two lines does not touch each other are called parallel lines.
Perpendicular line segment:
When two line segment which form a L shape are called perpendicular lines.
Different names of points:
Collinear points:
Where three or more points lies on the same line its a collinear points.
Midpoint:
Midpoint has a halfway point where line segment divided into two equal parts are called midpoint.
Equidistant point:
In a line segment where point is equal length from other points which are in congruent then the point is equidistant point.
Rays:
Sun emitting rays of light in all directions. rays of light from torch light shows idea for rays and initial point is a vertex for an angles and the two rays are called arms of the angle.
Problems in Lines Rays and Points Names:
Example 1:
Find the distance between the points A(-8,1) and B (6,3).
Solution:
Let assume "d" be the distance between A and B. (x1,y1)= (-8,1), (x2,y2)= (6,3).
Then d (A, B) =sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)
=sqrt((6+8)^2 +(3-1)^2)
= sqrt(14^2+2^2)
=sqrt(196+4)
=sqrt200
=10 sqrt2
Example 2:
Find the mid point co ordinates of the line segment joining given points A(3,-2) and B(-5,4)
Solution:
The required mid point is
Formul a = ((x_1+x_2)/2 ,(y_1+y_2)/2) here, (x1, y1) = (3,-2),(x2, y2) = (-5,4)
= ((3-5)/(2))((4-2)/(2))
= (-2/2) , (2/2)
= (-1,1)
My forthcoming post is on Bayes Theorem Problems and How to Solve Compound Inequalities will give you more understanding about Algebra.
Example 3:
Find the slope of the lines given (5,-1) and (1,3)
Solution:
(x1,y1)= (5,-1), (x2,y2)= (1,3).
We know to find slope of line,m= (y_2-y_1) /(x_2-x_1)
=(3-(-1))/(1-5)
m =4/-4 = -1
Example 4:
Find the equation of the line having slope -4 and y-intercept 3.
Solution:
Applying the equation of the line is y = mx + c
Given, m = -4 ,c =3
y = -4 x +3
or y = -4x+3
or -4x+y −3 = 0
or 4x-y+3 = 0
