Point-Slope Equation of a Line

December 10, 2020 by Prasanna

Point-Slope Equation of a Line

Equations of straight line in different forms

(1) Slope form:
Equation of a line through the origin and having slope m is y = mx.
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 1(2) One point form or Point slope form:
Equation of a line through the point (x1,  y1) and having slope m is y − y1 = m(x − x1).
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 2(3) Slope intercept form:
Equation of a line (non-vertical) with slope m and cutting off an intercept c on the y-axis is y = mx + c.
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 3The equation of a line with slope m and the x-intercept d is y = m(x − d).

(4) Intercept form:
If a straight line cuts x-axis at A and the y-axis at B then OA and OB are known as the intercepts of the line on x-axis and y-axis respectively.
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 4Then, equation of a straight line cutting off intercepts a and b on x–axis and y–axis respectively is \(\frac { x }{ a } +\frac { y }{ b } =1\).
If given line is parallel to X axis, then X-intercept is undefined.
If given line is parallel to Y axis, then Y-intercept is undefined.

(5) Two point form:
Equation of the line through the points A(x1,  y1) and B(x2, y2) is, \((y-{ y }_{ 1 })=\frac { { y }_{ 2 }-{ y }_{ 1 } }{ { x }_{ 2 }-{ x }_{ 1 } } (x-{ x }_{ 1 })\).
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 5In the determinant form it is gives as \(\left| \begin{matrix} x & y & 1 \\ { x }_{ 1 } & { y }_{ 1 } & 1 \\ { x }_{ 2 } & { y }_{ 2 } & 1 \end{matrix} \right| =0\) is the equation of line.

(6) Normal or perpendicular form:
The equation of the straight line upon which the length of the perpendicular from the origin is p and this perpendicular makes an angle α with x-axis is x cos α + y sin α = p.
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 6(7) Symmetrical or parametric or distance form of the line:
Equation of a line passing through (x1,  y1) and making an angle θ with the positive direction of x-axis is ,
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 7
where r is the distance between the point P(x, y) and A(x1,  y1).
Point-Slope Equation of a Line 8The co-ordinates of any point on this line may be taken as (x1 ± r cos θ, y1 ± r sin θ), known as parametric co-ordinates. ‘r’ is called the parameter.
