When does the equation of a line in slope-intercept form look just like its equation in point-slope form?
When it is a line through the origin.
What is the point slope form of an equation?
Point-slope form is just another way to express a linear equation. It uses two (any two points that fall on the line) and the slope of the line (Therefore the name point-slope form).y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1)...with m as the slope.
How do you write the point-slope form of an equation of the line described?
No line described, but here is the point slope form. Y - Y1 = m(X - X1) =============
What is the point-slope form of a line with slope that contains the point (-2 1)?
The equation of the line will also depend on its slope which has not been given and so an answer is not possible.
What is the equation of a line in general form with a point -3 0 and an undefined slope?
You can have infinitely many lines through one specific point, each with a different equation. If you want to have a general equation for ANY line that goes through that point, use the point-slope equation for a line, and use a variable for the slope.
How do write an equation of a line when given the slope a point of the line?
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
When does the equation of a line in slope-intercept form look just like its equation in point-slope form?
When it is a line through the origin.
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point 1 1?
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (1, 1).
What is an equation of the line that passes through the point 50 and is perpendicular to the line 5x 6y24 express your answer in slope-intercept form?
Here is how to solve it. First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated. Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.
Write in slope intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point?
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
If the equation of a line has an undefined slope and passes through the point 1 3 which form would be used to write the equation of the line?
x = 1 (the line intersects the x-axis at 1, and is parallel to the y-axis)We cannot write the equation on the Slope-intercept form, since the slope of the line is undefined. 1 is the x-coordinate of any point on the given line.
What is the point slope form of an equation?
Point-slope form is just another way to express a linear equation. It uses two (any two points that fall on the line) and the slope of the line (Therefore the name point-slope form).y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1)...with m as the slope.
What is the equation of a line that has a y-intercept of -4 and a slope of 1.5?
the slope of a line is 9/5 the y intercept is -4, express the equation of the line in point slope form
