Write an equation that represents the line calculator

Enter any Number into this free calculator

$ \text{Slope } = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 } { x_2 - x_1 } $

How it works: Just type numbers into the boxes below and the calculator will automatically calculate the equation of line in standard, point slope and slope intercept forms.

How to enter numbers: Enter any integer, decimal or fraction. Fractions should be entered with a forward slash such as '3/4' for the fraction $$ \frac{3}{4} $$.

Determine the equation of a line passing through the points $(-2, 5)$ and $(4, -2)$.

Find the slope - intercept form of a straight line passing through the points $\left( \frac{7}{2}, 4 \right)$ and $\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1 \right)$.

If points $\left( 3, -5 \right)$ and $\left(-5, -1\right)$ are lying on a straight line, determine the slope-intercept form of the line.

How to find equation of the line determined by two points?

To find equation of the line passing through points $A(x_A, y_A)$ and $B(x_B, y_B)$ ( $ x_A \ne x_B $ ), we use formula:

$$ {\color{blue}{ y - y_A = \frac{y_B - y_A}{x_B-x_A}(x-x_A) }} $$

Example:

Find the equation of the line determined by $A(-2, 4)$ and $B(3, -2)$.

Solution:

In this example we have: $ x_A = -2,~~ y_A = 4,~~ x_B = 3,~~ y_B = -2$. So we have:

$$ \begin{aligned} y - y_A & = \frac{y_B - y_A}{x_B-x_A}(x-x_A) \\ y - 4 & = \frac{-2 - 4}{3 - (-2)}(x - (-2)) \\ y - 4 & = \frac{-6}{5}(x + 2) \end{aligned} $$

Write an equation that represents the line calculator

Multiply both sides with $5$ to get rid of the fractions.

$$ \begin{aligned} (y - 4)\cdot {\color{red}{ 5 }} & = \frac{-6}{5}\cdot {\color{red}{ 5 }}(x + 2)\\ 5y - 20 & = -6(x + 2)\\ 5y - 20 & = -6x - 12 \\ 5y & = -6x - 12 + 20 \\ 5y & = -6x + 8 \\ {\color{blue}{ y }} & {\color{blue}{ = -\frac{6}{5}x - \frac{8}{5} }} \end{aligned} $$

In special case (when $x_A = x_B$ the equation of the line is:

$$ {\color{blue}{ x = x_A }} $$

Example 2:

Write an equation that represents the line calculator

Find the equation of the line determined by $A(2, 4)$ and $B(2, -1)$.

Solution:

In this example we have: $ x_A = 2,~~ y_A = 4,$ $ x_B = 2,~~ y_B = -1$. Since $x_A = x_B$, the equation of the line is:

$$ {\color{blue}{ x = 2 }} $$

You can see from picture on the right that in special case the line is parallel to y - axis.

How do you find the equation of a line with one point and the slope calculator?

How to find the equation of a line with slope and coordinates of a point?.
Identify the point coordinates: x1 = 2 , y1 = -3 ..
Identify the slope: m = 2..
Input the values into the point slope form formula: y - y1 = m (x - x1) y - (-3) = 2(x - 2).
Simplify to get the general equation: y = 2x - 4 -3. 0 = 2x - y - 7..
