Questions and Answers

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (1, -1) and (3, 5)?

3x - y + 4 = 0

Define the y-intercept of a line.

The y-intercept is the point where the line intersects the y-axis, with coordinates (0, c).

What is the slope-intercept form of a line?

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

How is the equation of a line found using the two-point form?

<p>y - y1 = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) * (x - x1)</p> Signup and view all the answers
