Line Segment definition (Coordinate Geometry)
in ordinary plane geometry, the only difference being that we know the coordinates of the points involved. The naming conventions are also the same. Things to try In the above diagram, press 'Reset'. The line segment AB starts at point A at (52,7) and ends at point B at (53,20). Drag A, B...
Line definition (Coordinate Geometry)
the definition of a line in ordinary plane geometry, the only difference being that we know the coordinates of the points involved. The naming conventions are also the same. Things to try In the above diagram, press 'Reset'. The line AB passes through point A at (52,7), point B at...
Vertical line definition. (Coordinate Geometry)
for a vertical line the slope is undefined. As you drag the points above, notice that the slope indicator goes away when the line is exactly vertical. The equation of a vertical line is x = a Where: x is the coordinate of any point on the line ais where the ...
Horizontal line definition. (Coordinate Geometry)
Examples Fig 1. Is the line horizontal? Determine if the line shown in Fig 1 is horizontal and write it's equation. The two points A,B on the line are at (7,7) and (39,7). The second coordinate in each pair is the y-coordinate which are 7, and 7. Since they are equal, the ...
Assessing and Making Maps 4th - 7th
pencils, pens and markers for map-making activities. Each student will need a copy of the TODALSIGs map analysis chart below. Optional -- A topographic map of Alaska Procedure Overview: When Harriman set out for Alaska in 1899, he and his navigation crew relied on a serie...

Overhead #1: Rhone Glacier Infor- mation Maps at right: Topographic map of the region surrounding the Rhone Glacier and small map of location within Europe. Painting at left: Date: Approximately 1906 Location: Furka Pass above Gletsch, Switzer- land Description: This image shows the Rhone glacier behind the Hotel Belvedere in about the year 1906. The glacier is located near the town of Gletsch and the Furka Pass in northeastern Switzerland. The glacier has experienced extensive melting over

Parallel lines. (Coordinate Geometry)
are equal. The slope can be found using any method that is convenient to you: From two given points on the line. (See Slope of a line). From the equation of the line in slope-intercept form From the equation of the line in point-slope form And of course, you can use d...
Intercept (b) of a line (Coordinate Geometry)
off the top or bottom of the chart. Formula for the intercept of a line Below are two ways to find the intercept. Use either one depending on what you are given to start. Given the slope of the line and any point on the line The intercept (b) is given by where: m i...
Area of an Irregular Polygon
easy formula for the area of an irregular polygon. Each side could be a different length, and each interior angle could be different. It could also be either convex or concave. If you know the coordinates of the vertices of the polygon, there are two methods: A manual method. See Area of a...
