tutorials on line ..all invited

OpenStudy (gorv):

first of all the general equation of line

OpenStudy (gorv):

ax+by=c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/

OpenStudy (gorv):

where a,b,c are constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is everybody doing here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (gorv):

standard equation of line

OpenStudy (gorv):

y=mx+c

OpenStudy (gorv):

here m= slope of line

OpenStudy (gorv):

c= y intercept

OpenStudy (gorv):

now first thing how to calculate slope of line

OpenStudy (gorv):

|dw:1413387208589:dw|

OpenStudy (gorv):

we are given two point here

OpenStudy (gorv):

how to find slope thn ???

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[m=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1}\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

here we take y coordinate in numerator

OpenStudy (gorv):

we took y2 first and subtracted y1 from it

OpenStudy (gorv):

we will do similar in denominator we will take x2 and will subtract x1

OpenStudy (gorv):

how to form equation of line from these 2 given point

OpenStudy (gorv):

pick any one point ..hmmmm...lets pick (x1,y1)

OpenStudy (gorv):

equation of line will be y-y1=slope*(x-x1)

OpenStudy (gorv):

u can also pick (x2,y2) instead of (x1,y1)

OpenStudy (gorv):

slope we calculated above

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[y-y1=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }(x-x1)\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

this is called POINT SLOPE FORM

OpenStudy (gorv):

now the standard form of equation y=mx+c

OpenStudy (gorv):

lets consider a equation y=2x-4

OpenStudy (gorv):

on compairing with y=mx+c we can see m=2

OpenStudy (gorv):

so slope=2

OpenStudy (gorv):

now how to find y intercept and x intercept of line

OpenStudy (gorv):

to calculate y intercept put x=0 in line equation

OpenStudy (gorv):

y=2*0-4 y=0-4

OpenStudy (gorv):

y=-4

OpenStudy (gorv):

so our y intercept =-4

OpenStudy (gorv):

now x intercept

OpenStudy (gorv):

to find x intercept put y=0 0=2x-4

OpenStudy (gorv):

add 4 on both side 4=2x and now divide by 2 on both side

OpenStudy (gorv):

2=x it is our x intercept

OpenStudy (gorv):

now remember few things

OpenStudy (haichi):

x=2

OpenStudy (gorv):

1. parallel line have same slope

OpenStudy (gorv):

y=2x-4 line parallel to this will have same slope

OpenStudy (gorv):

that is slope =2

OpenStudy (gorv):

2.product of slope of perpendicular line =-1 m1*m2=-1

OpenStudy (gorv):

m1=slope of first line m2=slope of 2nd line or perpendicular line

OpenStudy (gorv):

thatzz it guyss thankuu

OpenStudy (gorv):

any doubt regarding this??

OpenStudy (haichi):

nope not me

OpenStudy (haichi):

gorv btw how do u get human cac?

OpenStudy (gorv):

okk buddy:)

OpenStudy (gorv):

cac means ???

OpenStudy (haichi):

caculator

OpenStudy (haichi):

soz

OpenStudy (gorv):

when u earn a number of medal ...this award is made availabe for the user

OpenStudy (haichi):

k KEwl thnx
