Analytic Geometry

This document contains formulas and definitions from analytic geometry including: 1) The distance formula between two points, slope and equation of a line between two points, and the normal form and general equation of a line. 2) Formulas for finding the angle between two lines, the area of a triangle, and transformations of coordinates involving translation, rotation, and translations with rotation. 3) Definitions of polar coordinates and the equation of a circle, as well as equations of ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas depending on their position and orientation.
