Hi guys

These are the 2 topics that i always feel unsure of.

Can someone please either list here all the notes relevant(if i'm missing any) to those 2 topics, or provide me with some complete links for the 2 topics?

So far, this is what i know:

LINES
y=mx + b
-i know what each variable stands for, what it means when 2 slopes are equal (parallel or coinciding lines), and what a reciprical slope means(Perpendicular lines)
-i know the formula for the slope: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
-positive slope lines pass through Q1 and q3; negative slope ones pass through Q2 and Q4.

ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS
-if the numbers in a set are following each other in some exact/consistent order, then the mean=the median
-the average of some consecutive numbers= (smallest+largest)/2.

Not sure how (or what you mean) you can say that positive slope means line passes thru Q1 and Q3... The line can pass thru Q1, Q2 and Q3... or Q1 Q4 and Q3
