A Fool Despises His Father’s Instruction
A fool despises his father’s instruction, but he who receives correction is
prudent. (Proverbs 15:5)
• The lesson of the proverb is that wise children will hear and obey their parents.
• Do you think your parents are ignorant? Do you think they do not care about you?
These are lying sins from hell; they will take you down to destruction and trouble.
• Only foolish and wild sons reject a father’s advice and warnings.
• A prudent and wise son desiring a great future will seek his father’s counsel and
listen eagerly to any advice he can gather.
Lesson 2: Geometry
Review
• A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
(Proverbs 15:4)

Analytic (Coordinate) geometry
(f) The slope of the line passing two points (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 ) is
𝑦2 − 𝑦1
𝑚=
𝑥2 − 𝑥1
(g) The formula of the centroid of a triangle:
x1 +x2 +x3 y1 +y2 +y3
G= （ , ）
3 3
The centroid divides each median into two parts, and the lengths of the parts
will be in the ratio 2:1.
(h) The slopes of two parallel lines are equal.
(i) The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, i.e., the product
of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1
