Can you always write the equation of a line if you know one point on the line?
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).
Is the two points form equation the same as linear equation?
The equations are equivalent.
How do you graph the linear equation 5x-4?
You write it as: y = 5x-4 Then you calculate a few sample points, plot them, and draw a straight line through them. Since the equation is linear, two points are enough, in theory, but it is usually recommended to plot a third point, as a verification.
How do you make a linear equation go through three points?
In general, a linear equation CANNOT be made to go through three points. That will only happen if the three points are collinear and in that case, the equation of the line will only require two points.
How do you write the equation of a line that passes through two points given an example is it possible to find this on a calculator?
No, a calculator is useless, unelss you are dealing with values for x and y which require some difficult working out. Use the general form of a linear equation using two points on the line: y - y1 = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)(x - x1), where the points given are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
