Find the equation of the line thru the points (2,1) and (3,5) --------------------- This is a 2 step process. First find the slope of the line thru the points. slope, m = diffy/diffx m = (5-1)/(3-2) m = 4 --------- Now use y = mx + b with either point to find b, the y-intercept. y = mx + b 5 = 4*3 + b b = -7 ------- y = mx + b y = 4x - 7 is the answer. ------------------------ Another approach using determinants: |x y 1| |2 1 1| = 0 |3 5 1| -------- x(1-5) - y(2-3) + 1(10-3) = 0 -4x + y + 7 = 0 y = 4x - 7 --------- For further assistance, or to check your work, email me via the thank you note or at Moral Loophole@aol.com ---------------------- A line and a point example. Write in standard form the eqation of a line that satisfies the given conditions. Perpendicular to 9x+3y=36, through (1,2) ----------------- Find the slope of the line. Do that by putting the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. That means solve for y. 9x+3y = 36 3y= - 9x + 36 y = -3x + 12 The slope, m = -3 ------------------ The slope of lines parallel is the same. The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, m = +1/3 ---------------- Use y = mx + b and the point (1,2) to find b. 2 = (1/3)*1 + b b = 5/3 The equation is y = (1/3)x + 5/3 (slope-intercept form) x - 3y = -5 (standard form) ------------------------ For further assistance, or to check your work, email me via the thank you note, or at Moral Loophole@aol.com ------------------------------What is the equation for a circle with a radius of 4 and a mispoint at (2,2)?
