Properties of a straight line

Step by Step Solution

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors : 2y - 4x = 2 • (y - 2x)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

Equations which are never true :

2.1 Solve : 2 = 0This equation has no solution. A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Equation of a Straight Line

2.2 Solve y-2x = 0 Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK). "y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.In this formula :y tells us how far up the line goesx tells us how far alongm is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line isb is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axisThe X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line y-2x = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 0/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 0.00000

y-intercept = 0/1 = 0.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 0/-2 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-0.00000

x-intercept = 0/-2 = -0.00000

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -0.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 4.000 - -0.000 = 4.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

Slope = 4.000/2.000 = 2.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

1. Slope = 4.000/2.000 = 2.000
2. x-intercept = 0/-2 = -0.00000
3. y-intercept = 0/1 = 0.00000
