LINEAR EQUATION
LINES
A. POINT-SLOPE FORM:
If the line passes through the point (x1, y1), then the
y y1
slope of the line is m
x x1 . Rewriting the equation we
have y y1 m x x1 which is the standard equation of
the point-slope form.
The equation of the line through a
given point P1 (x1, y1) whose slope is
m. y m
U sin g slope formula,
m
y - y1
and multiplying
x - x1 P1 x1 , y1
both sides by x - x1 will
give us m x - x1 y - y1
x
or y - y1 m x - x1 which
is known as the point -
P x , y
slope form.
EXAMPLE:
Find the general equation of the line:
a.through (2,-7) with slope of 2/5
B. TWO-POINT FORM:
If the line passes through the points (x1, y1) and
y2 y1
(x2, y2), then the slope of the line is m
x2 x1 .
Substituting
y2 yit in the point-slope formula, we have
y y1 1
x x1
x2 x1 which the standard equation of
the two-point form.
The equation of the line through points
P1 (x1, y1) and P2 (x2, y2)
y m
y2 y1
Using the slope m
x2 x1
and substituting it to the point - P1 x1 , y1
slope form will give us P x , y
y2 y1
y - y1 x x1 x
x2 x1
which is known as the
P2 x2 , y2
two - point form.
EXAMPLE:
Find the general equation of the line:
a.passing through (4,-5) and (-6, 3)
C. SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM:
Consider a line not parallel to either axes of the
coordinate axes. Let the slope of the line be m and
intersecting the y-axis at point (0, b), then the slope
y b
m
of the line is . Rewriting the equation, we
x 0
have
y mx b
which is the standard equation of the slope-
intercept form.
The equation of the line having the
slope, m, and y-intercept (0, b)
y m
D. INTERCEPT FORM:
Let the intercepts of the line be the points (a, 0)
b
and (0, b). Then the slope of the line m and its
b a
equation is y b x 0 . Simplifying the equation
x y a
we have 1 which is the standard equation of
a b
the intercept form.
EXAMPLE:
Find the general equation of the line:
a.with x-intercept of 2 and y-intercept of -3/4
b.with x-intercept of 5 and y-intercept of 7
c. with x-intercept of 3/5 and y interceptof 3/7
The equation of the line whose x and y
intercepts are (a, 0) and (0, b) respectively.
y
U sin g point - slope formula,
b
y - b - x 0 and multiplying
a 0 ,b
m
both sides by a will give us
P x , y
ay - ab bx. Then by re -
arranging the equation to make a ,0
all the terms positive will become
