Answer: y=x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-2y-12=0
1. Add 2y to both sides:
2x-12=2y
2. Divide both sides by 2
x-6=y
Use the 2 points to find the gradient of the line
Gradient = (y - y1)/(x - x1), y and y1 are the two different y values.
(2.3 - - 7.4)/(-4.3 - 1.3) = -97/56 = -1.732
Note: y and x both come from the same coordinate, and y1 and x1 also come from the same coordinates - (x , y), (x1 , y1)
Use the following to find the equation (x, x1, y, and y1 are not the same as the first part)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where x2 and y2 is an intersection (one of the coordinates you used) and m is the gradient you found.
So...
y - 2.3 = -1.732(x - - 4.3)
You can simplify this if you are required to.
Next time please indicate which problem you want to work on.
One example of an equation with variables present on both sides is
y-b = m(x-a). Given the slope of a line and one point (a,b) through which the line passes, you can come up with an equation of the line.
Or, given the numeric value of y-b and that of x-a, you could obtain the slope of the line thru the points (x,y) and (a,b).
