INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is an important subject and knowledge of it enhances a person's reasoning, problem-solving skills, and in general, the ability to think. Hence it is important for understanding almost every subject whether science and technology, medicine, the economy, or business and finance. Mathematical tools such as the theory of chaos are used to mapping market trends and forecasting of the same.

Statistics and probability which are branches of mathematics are used in everyday business and economics. Mathematics also form an important part of accounting, and many accountancy companies prefer graduates with joint degrees with mathematics rather than just an accountancy qualification.

Amity School of Business

Financial Mathematics and Business Mathematics form two important branches of mathematics in today's world and these are direct application of mathematics to business and economics. Examples of applied math's such as probability theory and management science, such as queuing theory, time-series analysis, linear programming all are vital math's for business.

COORDINATES

An ordered pair of numbers that give the location of a point on the plane. e.g.: (3,4) The first number is always x and the second point is always y

Amity School of Business

COORDINATE PLANE

It describes a two-dimensional plane in terms of two perpendicular axes: x and y The x-axis indicates the horizontal direction while the y-axis indicates the vertical direction of the plane. In the coordinate plane, points are indicated by their positions along the x and yaxes

DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS

1212

Amity School of Business

In the coordinate plane, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between two points. The distance between the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is :

Amity School of Business

Find the distance between the following pair of points: (i) (0, 0) , (p, q) (ii) (9, -1) , (-2,10) (iii) (2/3, -1/2) , ( -1/3, -1/2 ) (iv)

STRAIGHT LINE

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line

1717

Amity School of Business

The slope of the line is the number that measures its steepness usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x. e.g., In the given figure , for a unit change in x, there is a rise of in y. So, slope=1/2 The slope is calculated by knowing any two distinct points on the line, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Y- INTERCEPT
The y- intercept is where the line intercepts (meets) the y-axis. e.g., In the above diagram, the line intercepts the y-axis at (0,1). And so Its yintercept is equals to 1.

SPECIAL EQUATIONS
(1) Equation of X-Axis is Y=0 (2) Equation of Y-Axis is X=0 (3) Equation of a line parallel to X-Axis is Y=k ( Here k is a constant) (4) Equation of a line parallel to Y-Axis is X=k (Here also k is a constant)

SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM
Equation of straight line in slope intercept form is given by y = mx + c (x, y) are coordinate of any point on the line, m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept or This tells us that the slope of the line is m and the y- intercept of the line is c

2424

Amity School of Business

e.g., The line y = 2x + 4 has slope m = 2 and y-intercept c = 4

Q Find the equation of a straight line making an angle of 120 degree with the x-axis and cutting the y-axis at a distance 3 below the origin.

SLOPE-POINT FORM
The equation of a straight line having a slope m and passing through the point (x1, y1 ) is, y-y1 = m ( x x1)

2727

Amity School of Business

Example; Find the equation of the straight line that has slope m = 4 and passes through the point (1, 6) Solution: m = 4, x1 = 1, and y1 = 6 plug these values into the point-slope form, and solve for y

2828

Amity School of Business

y y1 = m (x x1) y (6) = (4)(x (1)) y + 6 = 4(x + 1) y + 6 = 4x + 4 y = 4x + 4 6 y = 4x 2

GENERAL FORM
It should be noted that all the different standard forms of the equation of a straight line can be reduced to the form Ax+By+C = 0 (Its slope = -(A/B))

where A, B and C are constants with A and B not both zero

This equation is known as the General Form of a straight line.

PARALLELISM &PERPENDICULARITY
In a coordinate plane, suppose that Straight lines l1 and l2 have slopes m1 and m2 respectively. Let their inclinations be and respectively. If the line l1 is parallel to l2 , then their inclinations are equal, i.e., = , and hence, tan = tan Therefore m1 = m2 , i.e., their slopes are equal Conversely, if the slope of two lines l1 and l2 is same, i.e., m1 = m2 Then tan = tan .Therefore, the lines are parallel.
