20-3y=0=54+2z is it straight line if then how?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have 2 points, for example:
P( 2, 1 ); Q( 5, 7 )
You can find the linear equation of the line that passes through those points in the form:
Ax + By + C = 0
in one step by simply using the formula:
(y1 – y2)x + (x2 – x1)y + (x1y2 – x2y1) = 0
OR, we can write this as (easier to read!)
(py – qy)x + (qx – px)y + (pxqy – qxpy) = 0
Let’s try it:
Take Point1=( 2, 1 )
Take Point2=( 5, 7 )
Find the LINEAR EQUATION of the line that passes through the points (2,1) and (5,7). Your answer must be in the form of Ax + By + C = 0.
Using the equation:
(y1 – y2)x + (x2 – x1)y + (x1y2 – x2y1) = 0
We’ll just plug numbers in:
(1 – 7)x + (5 – 2)y + ( (2 x 7) – (5 x 1) ) = 0
-6x + 3y + (14 – 5) = 0
-6x + 3y + 9 = 0
Factoring a -3 out:
-3( 2x – y – 3 ) = 0
Dividing both sides by -3:
2x – y – 3 = 0
