Find the Equations of the Lines in Slope- Intercept Form
The line passes through (-1,3) and (-4,5)
The line with slope -2.5 and passes through (2,1.5)
The Line passes through (1,6) and (0,5)
The Line passes through (1,-1) and (5,3)
The line with a constant of 5 and passing through (1,7)
Equation of the Line passing through (-1,3) and (-4,5)
Y = mx + c
We determine the gradient of the line to find value the value of m.
Gradient = y2/x2 - y1/x1
Where (x1, y1) = (-1,3) and (x2, y2) = (-4,5)
You can refer to the do my algebra homework and math assignment resources to learn how to solve for unknown variables using the substitution method. These tools have step-by-step guide to help do your project correctly regardless of its complexity.
Y = -2/3 x + c
5 = - 2/3 (-4) + c
The value of c = 5 - 8/3 = 7/3
Therefore, the equation of the line passing through (-1,3) and (-4,5) is y = -2/3 x + 7/3
Equation of the line with slope -2.5 and passing through (2,1.5)
We know the values of y = mx + c where m is gradient and c is the constant value of in the line graph.
Therefore, y = 1.5, m = -2.5 and x = 2.
We can the find the value of c using the values provided in the question.
1.5 = -2.5 x 2 + c
1.5 = -5 + c
c = 1.5 + 5
c = 6.5
Therefore, the equation of the line with slope -2.5 and passing through (2,1.5) is y = -2.5 x + 6.5.
Equation of the Line passing through (1,6) and (0,5)
The value of y = mx + c. We can utilize the coordinates provided to find the gradient of the line described.
Gradient (m) = y2/x1 – y2/x1
Gradient (m) = 6/1 – 5/0
The value of the slope is = 1
If the slope is 1, the variable c is can be calculated using the one point in the line graph.
6 = 1 x1 + c
c = 5
Hence, the equation of line passing through (1,6) and (0,5) is y = x + 5.
Equation of the Line passing through (1,-1) and (5,3)
We use y = mx+c to determine the value of each point in the graph.
Gradient/Slope of the line (m) = y2/x2 – y1/y2
Gradient = 3/5 – -1/1
Gradient = 4/4
Gradient of the line (m) = 1
We use point (5,3) to compute the constant c variable.
y = 3 while x = 5 and m = 1
Therefore, we have 3 = 5 + c.
c = 3- 5 = -2
Thus, the equation of line passing through (1,-1) and (5,3) is y = x - 2.
Equation of the Line with a constant of 5 and passing through (1,7)
To do this algebraic task, we can still use y = mx +c in order to find the equation of the line passing through (1,7) where the constant value in the vertical axis is 5.
The value of y is 7 while x = 1 and c = 5.
M x 1 + 5 = 7 -> M = 7 – 5
If the value of the gradient is 2 and c = 5, then the equation is y = 2x + 5.
