Coordinate Geometry Concepts Review

The video tutorial covers a review of coordinate geometry, focusing on calculating slopes to determine if lines are parallel or perpendicular. It explains how to find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line, calculate the midpoint of a segment, and determine the perimeter of a shape using the distance formula. The tutorial concludes with finding the area of a triangle using its altitude and base.

How do you determine if lines are parallel?

• By checking if their slopes are equal

• By measuring their lengths

• By checking if they intersect

• By calculating their midpoints
