Term
conditional statement
Definition
a logical statement with two parts, a hypothesis and conclusion.

Represented by: p --> q
Term
if-then form
Definition
a way a conditional statement can be written.

if = hypothesis = p
then = conclusion = q
Term
converse
Definition
a conditioned statement formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion.

Represented by: q --> p
Term
negation
Definition
to write the negative of a statement. When you negate the hypothesis and conclusion, a "~" symbol appears before the "p" or "q".
Term
inverse
Definition
when you negate the hypothesis and conclusion of a statement.

Represented by: ~p --> ~q
Term
contrapositive
Definition
when you negate the hypothesis and conclusion of the converse of a conditional statement.

Represented by: ~q --> ~p
Term
equivalent statements
Definition
when 2 statements are both true or false.
Term
Through any two points there exists exactly one...
Definition
line
Term
a line contains at least two...
Definition
points
Term
if two lines intersect, then their intersection is exactly...
Definition
one point
Term
through any three ______ points there exists exactly one plane.
Definition
non-collinear
Term
A plane contains at least three ____ points.
Definition
non-collinear
Term
if two points lie on a plane, then the line containing them...
Definition
lies on the plane
Term
if two planes intersect, then their intersection is...
Definition
a line
Term
perpendicular lines
Definition
two lines that intersect to form a right angle
Term
line perpendicular to a plane
Definition
a line that intersects a plane in a point and is perpendicular to every line in the plane that intersects it
Term
biconditional statement
Definition
a statement that contains the phrase "if and only if". They are true only when the conditional and converse are true.

Represented by: p <--> q
Term
Law of Detachment
Definition
If p --> q is a true conditional statement and p is true, the q is true.
Term
Law of Syllogism
Definition
If p --> q and q --> r are true conditional statements, then p --> r is true.
Term
Addition Property
Definition
If a = b, then a + c = b + c
Term
Subtraction Property
Definition
If a = b, then a - c = b - c
Term
Multiplication Property
Definition
if a = b, then ac = bc
Term
Division Property
Definition
If a = b and c DOES NOT = 0, then a / c = b / c.

/ = divided by
Term
Reflexive Property
Definition
For any real number a, a = a
Term
Symmetric Property
Definition
If a = b, then b = a
Term
Transitive Property
Definition
If a = b and b = c, then a = c
