Concept explainers
To describe: when it is easier to use point slope form and slope intercept form to write the equation.
Answer to Problem 5CFU
When either value of two points or the value of one point and y- intercept is known, point slope form is used to write the line equation.
When either value of slope and y- intercept, or the value of one point and slope are known, slope intercept form is use to write the line equation.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation
The point slope form is as follows:
This form is easier to determine equation for line when either value of two points or the value of one point and y- intercept is known.
The slope intercept form is as follows:
This form is easier to determine equation for line when either value of slope and y- intercept, or the value of one point and slope are known.
