Takeaways
- 📏 To calculate the slope of a line given two points, use the formula \( (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1) \).
- 📈 The slope-intercept form of a line is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
- 📍 For graphing, a line equation \( x = a \) results in a vertical line, and \( y = b \) results in a horizontal line.
- 📉 The slope-intercept method involves using the slope and y-intercept to plot points and draw the line.
- 🔍 To find the x-intercept of a line, set \( y = 0 \) and solve for \( x \).
- 🔎 To find the y-intercept, set \( x = 0 \) and solve for \( y \).
- 🖊️ The point-slope form of a line is \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \), which is useful when you know a point and the slope.
- ✂️ Parallel lines have the same slope, which can be used to find the equation of a line parallel to another.
- 🔄 Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
- 📘 There are three main forms of linear equations: slope-intercept form, standard form, and point-slope form.
Q & A
What is the formula to calculate the slope of a line given two points?
-The formula to calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
How do you find the slope of the line passing through the points (2, -3) and (4, 5)?
-Using the slope formula, the slope is calculated as (5 - (-3)) / (4 - 2) = 8 / 2 = 4.
What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation and what does it represent?
-The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where 'm' represents the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.
What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y = 2x - 3?
-The slope of the line y = 2x - 3 is 2, and the y-intercept is -3.
How do you graph the equation x = 2?
-The equation x = 2 graphs as a vertical line at x = 2.
What type of line does the equation y = 3 represent?
-The equation y = 3 represents a horizontal line at y = 3.
How do you graph the equation y = 3x - 2 using the slope-intercept method?
-Start with the y-intercept at (0, -2). Using a slope of 3, move up 3 units and to the right 1 unit to get the next point (1, 1), then repeat to find (2, 4) and connect these points with a line.
How do you find the x-intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = 6?
-To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x: 2x = 6, so x = 3. The x-intercept is at the point (3, 0).
What is the y-intercept of the equation 2x - 3y = 6?
-To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y: -3y = 6, so y = -2. The y-intercept is at the point (0, -2).
How do you write the equation of a line given a point and a slope?
-Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the given point.
What is the equation of the line passing through (-3, 1) and (2, -4)?
-First, calculate the slope: m = (-4 - 1) / (2 - (-3)) = -5 / 5 = -1. Then use the point-slope form with one of the points, for example, (-3, 1): y - 1 = -1(x - (-3)), which simplifies to y = -x - 2.
How do you determine if two lines are parallel and what does it mean for their slopes?
-Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. The slope of a line parallel to another line with slope 'm' is also 'm'.
What is the equation of a line parallel to the line 2x + 5y - 3 = 0 and passing through the point (3, -2)?
-First, find the slope of the given line (2x + 5y - 3 = 0) which is -2/5. The parallel line will have the same slope. Using the point-slope form with (3, -2) and m = -2/5 gives y + 2 = -2/5(x - 3), which simplifies to y = -2/5x + 6/5.
How do you find the slope of a line perpendicular to another line given by its equation?
-The slope of a line perpendicular to another line with slope 'm' is the negative reciprocal of 'm'.
What is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line 3x - 4y + 5 = 0 and passing through (-4, -3)?
-First, find the slope of the given line (3x - 4y + 5 = 0) which is 3/4. The perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal, -4/3. Using the point-slope form with (-4, -3) gives y + 3 = -4/3(x + 4), which simplifies to y = -4/3x - 20/3.
