Students' Learning Outcomes
At the end of the unit, the students will be able to:
- Derive distance formula by locating the position of two points in coordinate plane.
- Calculate the midpoint of a line segment.
- Find the gradient of a straight line when coordinates of two points are given.
- Find the equation of a straight line in the form .
- Find the gradient of parallel and perpendicular lines.
- Apply distance and midpoint formulas to solve real-life situations such as physical measurements or distances between locations.
- Apply concepts from coordinate geometry to real world problems (such as, aviation and navigation, landscaping, map reading, longitude and latitude).
- Derive equation of a straight line in:
- slope-intercept form
- point-slope form
- two-point form
- intercepts form
- symmetric form
- normal form.
- Show that a linear equation in two variables represents a straight line and reduce the general form of the equation of a straight line to the other standard forms.
