This is the standard form of a straight line (linear) equation.
y = mx + c
Where 'm' is the slope/gradient of the line
'c' is the y-intersect.
'm' (the Slope) can be calculated from two given points.
point '1' is (x(1) , y(1)) , and point '2' is ( x(2), y(2)).
Hence
m = [ y(1) - y(2)] / [x(1) - x(2)].
NB Note the use of brackets.
It is the equation formula for a straight line equation.
This is the formula for a Y intercept on a 2 dimensional graph.
yes
the answer is: (y-b)/x = m y = mx + b y - b = mx (y-b)/x = m
same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b
You use it for linear equations. y=mx+b where x and y are the variables. m is the slope of the line and b is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. b is also known as the y intercept
The Y-Axis intercept, i.e. when X is zero, Y is b.
Y-intercept =(equals) MX+B Y=MX+B
b = y - mx.
y = mx + b y - mx = b
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
m
