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
It is a linear equation of the form y = c where c is some constant.
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.
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.
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.
