k is the slope . If the intersection angle between the line and the x -axis is a , then 0 a < p .

b is the vertical intercept

 

[ intercept ]

 

 

  a , b are the intercepts on the x - axis and y -axis, respectively .

  The line passes through the points A ( a , 0) and B (0, b ) .

  slope

  The straight line passes through the point M ( x 0 , y 0 ) and the intersection angle with the x -axis is a

 

[ Polar Coordinate Form ]

 

 

  O is the pole, Ox is the polar axis, p is the distance from the pole to the line . a is the angle between the polar axis and the vertical line leading from the pole to the line ( positive counterclockwise ) , j is any point on the line Polar angle of M, r is the vector radius of point M

 

[ normal type ]

 

                

 

   p is the length of the normal line ( the length of the vertical line from the origin O to the line ) , b is the intersection angle between the normal line and the x -axis, and p and b are called the position parameters of the line .

[ Note ] The general formula of a straight line can be transformed into a normal formula                    

In the formula, it is called the normalization factor of the straight line. When C < 0 ( or C = 0 and B > 0) , take the positive sign; when C > 0 ( or C = 0 and B < 0) , take the negative sign

[ vector ]

      

              

 

 

 

    The line passes through the end point of the vector radius r 0 and is parallel to the known vector a

[ Conditions for straight line bundle × three straight lines co-point ]

       L l    ( A 1 x + B 1 y + C 1 ) + l ( A 2 x + B 2 y + C 2 ) = 0, ( l is a parameter, - < l < )

 

For a certain value of l, L l represents a straight line passing through the intersection point G of two straight lines ( L 1 and L 2 ) . When l takes all values, the whole of the straight lines that L l represents passing through G is called a straight line bundle, G is called the vertex ( or center ) of the bundle of lines.

       Let L 3 be A 3 x + B 3 y + C 3 = 0 , then the condition for the three straight lines L 1 , L 2 , and L 3 to have the same point is the determinant

                           

       If the equation of the two straight lines is given in the normal form, then | l | is the ratio of the distance between any point on the straight line L l and the two given straight lines, and the lines corresponding to l = 1 and l = - 1 are the given two straight lines Bisector of included angle
