What is the meaning of the slope of a straight line graph?
The slope is therise divided by the run. Or in Cartesian coordinate terms: delta Y / delta X It is how steep the line is. 0 slope is parallel to the X axis. A slope of 1 rises 1 unit Y for every unit X (up and to the right)
What does the b mean in y equals mx plus b?
If the equation Y = mX + b is graphed on standard Cartesian orthogonal x-y coordinates, then: -- the graph is a straight line -- 'm' is the slope of the line -- 'b' is the Y-intercept, i.e. the number where the line crosses the Y-axis, i.e. the value of 'Y' when X = 0 .
How do I write an equation in standard form for a line satisfying the given condition. Through -2 and 9 and -2 and 7.?
In general, if a line passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d), its equation can be written as:y - b = [(d - b)/(a - c)](x - a)In this case, however, the formula is not necessary -- and in fact, attempting to apply it in its current form would result in a division by zero error. Instead, however, we can simply note that from (-2, 9) to (-2, 7) the x-coordinate does not change. This can only be the case if the line is vertical, meaning that the x-coordinate never changes. The line can therefore be represented by the equation x = -2.
How do you find the equation of a tangent line to the graph of fx equals x cubed and x equals -2?
Calculate the derivative of the function.Use the derivative to calculate the slope at the specified point.Calculate the y-coordinate for the point.Use the formula for a line that has a specified slope and passes through a specified point.
How would you graph y equals 4 and 2x y equals 2?
The first expression, y = 4, would be a horizontal line at y = 4. The second expression can be found by setting y equal to zero and solving for x, and, likewise, setting x equal to zero and solving for y: 2x = 2 <=> x = 1, so coordinate is (1,0) y = 2, so coordinate is (0, 2) Now draw a line connecting those two points and beyond them.
What do you call on the horizontal line in the Cartesian plane?
The horizontal line in the Cartesian plane is called the x-axis or x-coordinate.
What is the name of a coordinate plane the region on either side of a boundary line?
it is called the Cartesian Coordinate Plane
What does linear plot mean?
A straight line graph (on the cartesian or coordinate plane).
What is the cartesian coordinate plane?
That's the name of the plane with the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis on which equations and inequalities with two variables are graphed. The Cartesian coordinate plane is to two dimensions as the number line is to one dimension.
What is an abscissa?
An abscissa is the coordinate representing the position of a point along a line perpendicular to the y-axis in a plane Cartesian coordinate system.
A plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the y-axis?
The xy or Cartesian or coordinate plane.
What is used to locate points x y in the coordinate plane?
It is the straight line equation that can be used to locate coordinates of x and y on the Cartesian plane
Any non-vertical line in the Cartesian coordinate plane can be defined by a linear equation of the form y ax?
i promise. its false.
Is the point (0-7) on the Axis or Axis?
Yes, the given coordinate is a straight line parallel to the x axis on the Cartesian plane.
Any non-vertical line in the Cartesian coordinate plane can be defined by a linear equation of the form y equals ax?
False.
What is the y-cooridnate?
The y coordinate is the vertical number line on the Cartesian plane that intersects with the horizotal x coordinate number line at right angles at the point of origin whose coordinates are (0, 0)
What is the other term for the straight line in a cartesian plane?
A straight line on the Cartesian plane is the graph of a linear equation.
