The general equation to represent a line isaX + bY = c, where a, b, and c are given values or parameters.See the reference for more information.
The variables of this equation are your letters: a, b, and c. Variables merely stand in an equation to represent values that we don't know. "Solving" an equation is the process by which we uncover those values. In this particular case, since there are three variables, we cannot discover their values unless we have two other equivalent equations (a system of equations).
Assuming it is a straight line, the equation will be -- y=2x+4 The general equation for a straight line is y=mx+c, where -'m' is the gradient (or slope), and -'c' is the y-intercept. So, if we substitute in your values for m and c, we get y=2x+4
Equation of a line may be written as y = mx + c. m is called the slope of the line. c is the point where the line crosses the y axis. If two points are given: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), m is calculated as the y difference divided by the x difference: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Once you find m, you can find c by putting in the values into the equation y=mx+c. For example, if you use (x1, y1), you can do this: y1 = m*x1 + c take m*x1 to the other side: y1 - m*x1 = c Then you get the value of c. Now you have both m and c, so you can write the equation of the line: y = mx + c Put the values of m and c in. Leave y and x as it is. a.net/math_problems/equations-of-lines-problems-with-solutions.html
Suppose the equation of the line is y = m*x + c where m is the slope and c the y-intercept. The ordered pairs are on the line so m = (2.15 - 1.10) / (21.50 - 11.00) = 1.05 / 10.50 = 0.1 So y = 0.1*x + c Now, 21.5, 2.15 is on the line so substitute these values in the above equation and solve for c: 2.15 = 0.1*21.5 + c = 2.15 + c => C = 0 So the equation of the line is y = 0.1*x or y = x/10
