Title: Find the equation of a line passes through the point and origin |
Grade: 9-a Lesson: S2-L7 |
Explanation: The best way to understand algebra is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding. |
Examples:
1. Find the equation of the line passes through the points \$(2,3)\$ and orign \$(0,0)\$.
Step 1a
|
|
Given points. |
|
Explanation:
Given points \$(2,3)\$ and orign \$(0,0)\$ Let \$A(2,3) and B(0,0)\$. |
Step 1b
|
|
Equation of a line passes through two points. |
|
Explanation:
Equation of a line passes through two points \$A(x_1,y_1) and B(x_2,y_2)\$ is \$(y - y_1) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) (x - x_1)\$. Here \$x_1 = 2, y_1 = 3, x_2 = 0\$ and \$ y_2 = 0\$. |
Step 1c
|
|
Substitute the points in the line equation formula. |
|
Explanation: \$(y - y_1) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) (x - x_1)\$ \$=> (y - 3) = (0 - 3)/(0 - 4) (x - 2)\$ \$=> (y - 3) = (-3)/-4(x - 2)\$ \$=> (y - 3) = 3/4 (x - 2)\$ \$=> 4(y - 3) = 3(x - 2)\$ \$=> 4y - 12 = 3x - 6\$ \$=> 3x - 4y = -12 + 6\$ \$=> 3x - 4y = -6\$ \$=> 3x - 4y + 6 = 0\$. |
