Approach by 2 formulas; slope m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and the equation of the line is (y-y1)= m*(x-x1) where point 1 is (x1,y1) and point 2 is (x2,y2)
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. The equation of a horizontal line is y = a.
When it is a linear equation.
It is a linear equation.
The equation of a line is y=mx+b, when m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
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.
Approach by 2 formulas; slope m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and the equation of the line is (y-y1)= m*(x-x1) where point 1 is (x1,y1) and point 2 is (x2,y2)
The equation is the definition of the line.If the line is undefined, then it has no equation.
answer the quastion
The equation of any horizontal line isY = a number
A horizontal line has a slope of zero. The equation of a horizontal line is y = a.
When it is a linear equation.
It is a linear equation.
The equation of a line is y=mx+b, when m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
If it is a straight line, then the equation is linear.
When a straight line equation is parallel to another equation the slope remains the same but the y intercept changes
If the equation of a line is in the form ax + by + c = 0 then the slope of the line will be -a/b.
