How can you find equation of the line passing thruogh two points?
. the equation of a straight line can be found by using two points on a line . First find the gradient of the line using the gradient formula . now substitute the gradient into general form replacing "m" . use one of the points and substitute into equation to solve "c" example 1: find the equation of the line which passes through the points (1,3) and (2,5). step 1: find the gradient M=5-3/2-1=2 (/=divide) step 2: place m into the equation Y=2x+c step 3: substitute point into equation 3=2(1)+c step 4: solve C=1 equation is Y=2x+1 hope that helps :)
How can you find an equation line between two pair of points?
Assuming you want the equation of the straight line between the two points (x0, y0) and (x1, y1), the equation is: y - y0 = m(x - x0) where m is the gradient between the two points: m = (y1 - y0) ÷ (x1 - x0) Note: if the two x coordinates are equal, that is x0 = x1, then the equation of the line is x = x0.
How do you work out gradients and intercepts?
Gradients can be worked out by: 1. gradient formula, suppose the two points are (x1,y1); (x2,y2) then the gradient=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) 2. rise/run Intercepts can be found by: 1. to find the x-intercept substitute y=0 into the equation of the line 2. to find the y-intercept substitute x=0 into the equation of the line
One way to find the equation of a line is to look at some points on it and try to find the relationship between the coordinates?
Yes. You need only two points. If A (ax, ay) and B (bx, by) are two points on the line then the gradient (slope) of the line is m = (by - ay)/(bx - ax) provided bx ≠ ax. From this you can calculate m. Then the general slope-intercept form of the equation is y = mx + c Substitute the coordinates of A or B into this equation to find c. If bx = ax then the line is parallel to the y axis and its equation is x = ax. [There are other methods but they are similar to the above]
What is the gradient temperature for 15 C and 20 C?
A gradient requires two variables. There is information on only one.
