Given (-5, 15) and (-5, 9), find the midpoint, distance, slope, and equation of the line.

Problem: Given these pairs of points, (-5, 15) and (-5, 9), find the midpoint, distance, slope, and equation of the line.

Solutions:

• To find the midpoint, average the x coordinates and y coordinates. The midpoint is

• To find the (always zero or positive) distance, use the formula

• To find the slope, use the formula

(which means it is a vertical line, which has infinite slope)

• Since the line is vertical, there is only one x value that will give all y values. The equation for the line is

INTRODUCTION Differential equations are the language of engineering analysis. Every time an engineer models a vibrating machine, analyzes a circuit under transient conditions, computes the temperature distribution in a structural member, or predicts the behavior of a control system, the underlying mathematics is a differential equation. For Mathematics engineering licensure examinees, differential equations is one of the most applied and most heavily weighted topics in the engineering mathematics portion of the PRC board exams. The subject bridges pure calculus with real engineering systems,

INTRODUCTION Analytic geometry is the bridge between algebra and geometry; the subject that lets you describe shapes, curves, and spatial relationships using equations and coordinates. For Philippine engineering licensure examinees, it is one of the most consistently tested mathematics topics across all engineering programs. The PRC board exam does not just ask you to identify formulas. It asks you to apply them quickly and correctly under pressure, which means your understanding of the vocabulary has to be both deep and fast. This expanded

Introduction If there is one subject that cuts across every engineering discipline in the Philippine licensure examinations, it is algebra. Whether you are reviewing for the ECE, EE, CE, ME, ChE, or any other PRC board exam, algebra is always there. It shows up in the pure mathematics portion, in engineering sciences, and even embedded inside problems that appear to be about something else entirely. A circuit analysis problem is really an algebra problem in disguise. A beam loading problem reduces to a
