What is the point slope formula?
Point Slope Formula: y-y1 = m(x - x1)
How do you find an equation with a given slope?
Use point-slope formula
What do you need to use the point slope formula?
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (6, 4) and (2, 3)?
Slope can be calculated with the slope formula. This formula is: m (slope) = second y point - first y point / second x point - first x point Applying this formula to this problem, you get: 3-4/2-6 = -1/-4 = 1/4 The slope of (6,4) and (2,3) is 1/4.
What does an undefined slope look like?
Undefined slope is a vertical line along the horizontal point of origin., the slope would have a denominator of zero, which is undefined.
Who was the person that invented the point slope formula?
Rene Decartes
Through the origin with slope 7?
The line passing through the point (0,0) with a slope of 7 would be y=7x.
What is the slope of the line that contains the origin and the point (3-3)?
To find the slope of the line that contains the origin (0, 0) and the point (3, -3), you can use the formula for slope, which is ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ). Here, ( (x_1, y_1) = (0, 0) ) and ( (x_2, y_2) = (3, -3) ). Plugging in these values gives ( m = \frac{-3 - 0}{3 - 0} = \frac{-3}{3} = -1 ). Therefore, the slope of the line is -1.
What is the difference between the point slope formula and the slope intercept form of a straight line?
The point-slope formula of a straight line is expressed as (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)), where (m) is the slope and ((x_1, y_1)) is a specific point on the line. In contrast, the slope-intercept form is given by (y = mx + b), where (b) represents the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Essentially, the point-slope form is used to write the equation of a line given a point and its slope, while the slope-intercept form is used to express the line in terms of its slope and y-intercept.
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.
Why can you use the point-slope formula when writing an equation of a horizontal line but not with a vertical line?
A vertical line HAS NO slope! The slope is undefined in this case.
