Naming Lines in Geometry

Introduction for naming lines in geometry:
Lines are one dimension straight geometry figure and in solid geometry lines are used in designs.A lines are start with the one end and end with one direction then it said to be line segment.Lines are classified into many types which depends upon the line projection.Line segment is denoted with a connected piece of line.line segments names  has two endpoints and it is named by its endpoints. In this article contains naming lines in geometry I like to share this Area of a Rhombus Formula with you all through my article.

Naming Lines in Geometry:

In naming lines geometry section we have many types of lines which has propertyof its own.Lines are classified into following types.

Parallel lines:
In geometry parallel lines are mostly aplicable in design section, two lines which does not touch each other are called parallel lines.

Perpendicular lines:
In geometry Perpendicular lines are mostly aplicable drawing section,Two line segment  that form a L shape are called perpendicular lines.

Intersecting lines:
If two lines intersect at a point, these lines are called intersecting lines.

Concurrent lines:
The three or more lines passing through the same point are called concurrent lines. Understanding math help live is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Problems in Naming Lines Geometry:

Example 1:
Find co-ordinate of the mid point of the line segment joining given points A(-4,1) 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) = (-4,1),(x2, y2) = (5,4)

=  `((-4+5)/(2))``((1 +4)/(2)) `

= `(-1/2) ` ,  ` (5/2)`


Example 2:
Find the slope of the lines given (1,-3) and (-1,3)

Solution:
(x1,y1)= (1,-3), (x2,y2)= (-1,3).
We know to find slope of line,m=` (y_2-y_1) /(x_2-x_1)`

=`(3+3)/(-1-1)`

m =`6/-2` = -3

Example 3:
Find the equation of the line having slope 5 and y-intercept -1.

Solution:
Applying the equation of the line is y = mx + c
Given,       m =5 ,c = -1
y = 5 x -1

or  y = 5x - 1
or  5x- y +1 = 0.
