EQUATIONS OF A LINE
By: Mr. Xandro Alexi A. Nieto, M.Ed.MathUST Faculty of Pharmacy
run = 2
Review of Terms Before proceeding to our lesson, please recall the
following terms:Slope (m) rise / run from any point in the line.x-intercept (a) point of the x-axis where the line pass through.
To illustrate,
x-int (a)
- 2 y-int (b)1
rise = 1
y-intercept (b) point of the y-axis where the line pass through.
FORMS OF A LINE
The three forms of a line that we are going to discuss in this presentation are, as follows:
1by
ax
slope-intercept form
point slope form
two-point form
Some Analytic Geometry books would include the intercept form, . But since equations in those forms may be derived using the two-point form, it wont be discussed anymore in this presentation.

SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM
SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM
The slope-intercept form is used when the given are slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line.Do not use the slope-intercept form if the given are slope (m) and x-intercept (a).
Any equation in standard form, is already in slope-intercept form.

POINT-SLOPE FORM
Let (x,y) be the unknown point and (x1,y1) be the given point.
By definition of slope ,
and since the (x,y) is an unknown point, then .
By cross-multiplication, .
POINT-SLOPE FORM The point-slope form is used when the given are slope
(m) and a point passing through the line (x1,y1). Suppose you want to find the slope of the line, in which theres only
one given point (x1,y1).

WHAT IFs?
What if the given are the slope and the x-intercept of the line?
What if the given are a point passing through the line and x or y-intercept?
What if the given are the lines x and y-intercepts?
Lets answer these questions one by one.
What if the given are the slope and the x-intercept of the line?
Do not use the slope-intercept form because the slope-intercept form is used if the given are the slope and the y-intercept (NOT THE X-INTERCEPT!).
What if the given are the slope and the x-intercept of the line?
Instead, recall that any x-intercept (a) may be expressed as ordered pair (a,0). Thus, you may use point-slope form.
What if the given are the slope and the x-intercept of the line?EXAMPLE:
Find the equation of the line with slope of 3 and has an x-intercept of 2.
run = 1
rise = 3
Since the x-intercept is 2, then its ordered pair is (2,0). Considering the slope of 3, then we have to use the point-slope form.

is the equation of the line.
x-intercept = 2
What if the given are a point passing through the line and x or y-intercept? Recall that any x-intercept (a) may be expressed in
ordered pair (a,0).
Likewise, any y-intercept (b) may be expressed in ordered pair (0,b).
Thus, the two-point form may be used in cases like this.
What if the given are a point passing through the line and x or y-intercept? EXAMPLE:
Find the equation of the line passing through (3,-1) and having a
y-intercept of -2.
(3,-1)Y-intercept = - 2
Since the y-intercept is -2, then its ordered pair is (0,-2). Considering the other given, (3,-1), then we can make use of the two-point form.

is the equation of the line.
What if the given are the lines x and y-intercepts?Again, recall that any x-intercept (a) may be
expressed in ordered pair (a,0).
Likewise, any y-intercept (b) may be expressed in ordered pair (0,b).
Thus, the two-point form may be used in cases like this.
What if the given are the lines x and y-intercepts? EXAMPLE:
Find the equation of the line having an x-intercept of 3 and a y-intercept of 2?
y-intercept = 2
x-intercept = 3
Since the x-intercept is 3, then its ordered pair is (3,0). Likewise, since the y-intercept is 2, then its ordered pair is (0,2). Thus, we can now make use of the two-point form.
