No, you need either two points, one point and a slope, one point and a y-intercept, or a y-intercept an a slope.
You can also write the equation of a line with an equation of another line but you would have to know if it is parallel or perpendicular.
There is not a single line, but infinitely many lines, that pass through the point (-5, 0). One thing you can do is choose some random slope, then use the equation for an equation that goes through a point and has a specified slope.
this is false Apex!
Solve the line equation for "y", to get it in slope-intercept form. You can immediately read the slope from this equation.Divide -1 by (slope of this first line) to get the slope of the second line - the one perpendicular to the given line. Write an equation for any line with this slope.
If there are given two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then you can write the equation of a line by finding the slope first [slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)] and using one of the points in order to write the equation in the point-slope form such as(y - y1) = m(x - x1)y - y1 = mx - mx1y = mx - mx1 + y1y = mx + (y1 - mx1) the slope-intercept form, where m is the slope and (y1 - mx1) is the y-intercept.mx - y = mx1 - y1 the general form of the equation of the line.
This is the first fundemental theorem of Calculus. The slope of a line is very important in your first calculus course. The slope tells you the rate of change. This means how much is the object change in height compared to its change in length. The slope of a line in Calculus is used as the first derivative. If you can take the slope of a line at one particular point you will find the answer to the derivative at this point. Remember this. You first equation on your graph is called your position equation. If you take the derivative of this equation it is called the velocity equation. The velocity equation is how much the position equation is sloping at each point. If you take the derivative of the velocity equation you will get the acceleration equation. The accerelation equation is how much the velocity is sloping at each point. You can take the derivative of the acceleration equation and this will give you the jerk equation. The jerk equation is not used in many applications and I have never used this equation in any of my 4 calculus classes.
You cannot define a line with a single point (a single point only defines itself). You need two points to define a line (and therefore to write the equation for it).
If given simply the slope of a line and a point through which it passes, and then told to find the equation of the line, one of the easiest ways of doing so is to use the point-slope formula.

There are 3 forms to write the equation of a line point slope y-y1=m(x-x1) for this form you need one set of points and you plug them into x1 and y1 and you need the slope which you plug into m
i am cute
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.
True
This lesson concerns determining an equation of a line given the slope and coordinates of one point
There are several ways to write an equation for a line. One common form is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept (where the line intercepts the y-axis).
There are several ways to write an equation for a line. One common form is ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are some constant values. A very useful form of the line equation is y = mx + b (m and b are constant). Since this is solved for "y", you can easily calculate pairs of value. Besides, m is the slope, and b is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis. This form can't be used to describe a vertical line, though.
