Hello Bunuel,

Thanks a lot for the article. I have one doubt . Is it that a line with negative slope would definitely pass through Quadrant 2 and 4, and would pass through 1 or 3 depending on the value of x and y intersects?

Yes. If the slope of a line is negative, the line WILL intersect quadrants II and IV. X and Y intersects of the line with negative slope have the same sign. Therefore if X and Y intersects are positive, the line intersects quadrant I; if negative, quadrant III.

Hi Bunuel,

Under heading Line equation in Co-ordinate Geometry -

The equation of a straight line passing through points P1(x1,y1)P1(x1,y1) and P2(x2,y2)P2(x2,y2) is:

$$\frac{y−y1}{x−x1}=\frac{y1−y2}{x1−x2}$$

I think it should be :

$$\frac{y−y1}{x−x1}=\frac{y2−y1}{x2−x1}$$

This is because slope for two points is : $$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$$

Let me know if I am missing anything here.

Both are the same: $$\frac{y2−y1}{x2−x1}=\frac{-(y1−y2)}{-(x1−x2)}=\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}$$

Really great stuff! I initially had some questions after reading through this book section but found that they were answered already (like the gradient formula where sometimes its y2-y1 and on other times its y1-y2).

Nevertheless, wanted to thank you so much for this! =D
