Geometry Formula Guide

Chapter 4: Coordinate Geometry

Distance, Midpoint, and Slope


Formula Meaning / Use

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - Distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
y1)^2)

M = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2) Midpoint between two endpoints.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Slope of a line through two points.

Linear Equations
Formula Meaning / Use

y = mx + b Slope-intercept form. m is slope and b is the y-intercept.

Point-slope form. Use when you know one point and the
y - y1 = m(x - x1) slope.

Ax + By = C Standard form of a linear equation.

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines


Rule Formula / Meaning

m1 = m2 Parallel lines have the same slope.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative


m1 x m2 = -1 reciprocals.

horizontal: m = 0 A horizontal line has equation y = constant.

vertical: undefined slope A vertical line has equation x = constant.

Equation of a Circle
Formula Meaning / Use

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 Circle with center (h, k) and radius r.

x^2 + y^2 = r^2 Circle centered at the origin (0, 0).

Reminder: Keep each point organized as (x, y). In translations, right/left changes x and up/down changes y.
