Perpendicular/ normal gradient=

M1xM2=-1

y-y1=M(x-x1)

y2-Y1

--------

X2-X1

Midpoint=

Y1(X1) + Y2(X2)

Tangent follows the line.

Proving something is a right angle use the perpendicular gradient

Distance between two points. Draw out the triangle and work out the distance from x and the distance from y and use the formulae: X^2+Y^2= C^2
