Introduction to Equation of a Straight Line
A straight line is represented by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is the rate of change of the y-coordinate with respect to the x-coordinate. It is calculated by dividing the change in y-coordinates by the change in x-coordinates. The y-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis.
General Equation of a Straight Line Formula
The general equation of a straight line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is the rate of change of y with respect to x, and the y-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis.
The Slope of a Straight Line
The slope of a straight line is a measure of how steep the line is. The slope is calculated by taking the change in height (y) and dividing it by the change in x. The slope can be positive or negative, depending on which direction the line is sloping.
Slope Intercept Form of the Straight Line
The slope intercept form of the straight line is the equation of a line in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The Intercept Form of the Straight Line
In mathematics, a straight line is a line that is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. A straight line has no curves or bends.
The Normal Form of a Straight Line
The normal form of a straight line is a line that is perpendicular to the given line.
Slope One Point Form of the Straight Line
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept of the line
Two-Point Form of the Straight Line
Let be a point on the straight line and be the coordinates of .
Then the equation of the line is .
