To find the equation of a line y=mx-b, calculate the slope of the line using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line. Substitute the value of the slope m to find b (y-intercept).
How do you find the equation of a line given the slope?
To find the equation of a line given the slope, use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is given by: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
How do you find the slope of a line with two given points?
To find the slope of a line (m) given two points, use the slope formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
What is a line equation?
A linear equation is a mathematical equation that describes the location of the points on a line in terms of their coordinates.
What are the forms of line equation?
Common forms of a line equation are the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), the point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)), and the two-point form (y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1)).
