What is the equation of the line that passes through the points 5 2 and 5 7?
If the line passes through (5, 2) and (5, 7), then the x value stays constant for those two points, and since it is a line, the x value stays constant for the whole line, so the equation of the line isx = 5
What is the curve horizontal line?
It is a linear equation of the form y = c where c is some constant.
What are equation of lines?
y = mx + cWhere m is the gradient of the line and c is a constant (the intercept of the line).The equation of a line is typically written asy=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.If you know two points that a line passes through, this page will show you how to find the equation of the line.
What does solving the equation for a line tell us?
A line is represented by an equation. Each solution of the equation is a point on the line, and each point on the line is a solution to the equation. So the line is just the graph of the solution set of the equation.
Why does b represent the y-intercept?
B is just a constant variable. In the standard form for the equation of a line y= ax +b. When x = 0, this is where we cross the y axis and the equation evaluates to b.
If the constant term in the slope-intercept equation for a line determines what?
The x intercept.
Write the equation in slopeintercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point 3 7?
y = 2x + 1.
Write the equation in slopeintercept form of the line that has a slope of 3 and contains the point 4 9?
The equation of the line is of the form y = 3x + c where c is a constant. The point (4,9) is on the line, so substituting x=4, y=9 in the equation, 9 = 3*4 + c = 12 + c so c = -3 So the equation of the line is y = 3x - 3
What is the equation of a horizonal line?
The equation of a horizontal line is y=(the constant y-value of the line). This is because, unlike any other line, y is constant. You can't express x in a relation to y.
What is equation of the horizontal line?
The equation of any horizontal line isY = a number .
What type of equation has a graph that is a vertical line?
x = constant.
The slope of a line is the constant term in the lines equation?
flase
Are A linear equation determines a line in the xy-plane?
Yes, the world "linear" and "line" have the same root.
Write the equation in slopeintercept form of the line that has a slope of 3 and contains the point 2 5?
y=mx+b y0=mx0+b 5=3*2+b b=5-5=0 y=3x+0
In the slop intercept equation of a line which quantity is given by the constant term?
It is the intercept.
What equation of a line with a x-intercept of -3?
y = mx - 3 where m is a constant.
What is the equation of a line which has gradient 2?
Y=2x+c where c is arbitery constant
