Calculate Equation of a Line





Formula

The formula to calculate the equation of a line using the point-slope form is:

\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the point is (2, 3) and the slope is 4. Using the formula:

\[ y - 3 = 4(x - 2) \]

So, the equation of the line is \( y - 3 = 4(x - 2) \).

What is the Point-Slope Formula?

The point-slope formula is used to find the equation of a line when you know the slope and a point on the line. It is particularly useful in algebra and coordinate geometry.
