Example Question #61 : How To Find The Equation Of A Line
What is the equation of the line if the line connects the points and ?
If we chose to use the slope formula to determine a possible slope, we have:
Our slope becomes undefined. The x-values will not change, and we are not able to write this in the slope-intercept form.
This line is a vertical line, and will be represented by because the x-values will not change in a vertical line.
The answer is:
Example Question #152 : Equations Of Lines
Determine the equation for the line, in slope intercept form, given a slope of and that it passes through the point .
To determine the equation for the line given only a point on the line and its slope, we can use point-slope form, which is given by the following:
, where is the slope of the line and is the point on the line.
Using the formula, we get
, which simplified becomes .
