Not enough information has been given but in general the equation of a straight line is y = mx+b whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

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.


What are two lines that are perpendicular that passes through point?

Perpendicular lines passing through a point are at right angles to each other.


Which is the equation of the line that has an x intercept of -5?

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.


How many lines can pass through a point?

An infinite number of lines can pass through a point.


Two lines intersect. One has an equation of 3x plus 2y -12 and the other goes through the point (-6 1). The point of intersection is also the vertex of a parabola that has two zeroes that are more tha?

Without an equality sign in the given terms they can't be considered to be a straight line equation.


What are parallel lines and transverse lines equal to in an equation?

parallel lines are those line which does not have any intersecting point.


What is the point slope equation for the line that passes through the point (55)?

There are infinitely many lines that pass through the point (5, 5). The point slope equation for a straight line with a given slope m through a point (x0, y0) is given by: y - y0 = m(x - x0) Which means that the straight line through the point (5, 5) will have an equation of the form: y - 5 = m(x - 5) where m is the slope of the line - you'll need to replace that with the slope you require.


What is the equation for a line that goes through the origin on a graph?

There are many lines that go through the origin.Examples:y=xy=2xy=3xy=mxx=yx=myThese are called direct variations and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form y=mx+bHowever given any other point on the line, the equation would bey=x(ypoint/xpoint)=====================================The equation for the line is [ Y = k X ].'k' can be any number.This is the equation of ALL straight lines that go through the origin.The only difference in ALL of them is what number 'k' is.


How do you know when an equation has infinitely many solutions How do you know when an equation has no solution?

You know that an equation has no solution when...Ex. 2>5 is falseTo show its false, put and O with a / through it----------To find it false, in terms of graphing, it is when you have parallel lines (Not crossing at any point if, in a perfect world, the lines went on forever).So for an exampley=2-3x6x+2y=7 (y=-3x+7/2 in Y=mx+b form)With this equation the lines do not pass through each other, and once more in a perfect world, if they kept going on the lines would never cross.


What is the equation of a vertical ab line passing through the point (a, b)?

The equation of a vertical line passing through the point (a, b) is x a.


Lines that pass through the same point?

these lines are called intersecting lines


Can a given point be in two lines?

A point has an infinite amount of lines passing through it.
