The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is
y = m x + b, where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
If the x-coordinates of the two points are equal, that means the line is vertical
A vertical line has no slope
Its equation is x = a, where a is the x-coordinate of any point on the line
13) The two points are (5, 3) and (5, 4)
They have the same x-coordinates, then its equation is
x = 5
The rule of the slope is
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex](x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line
The line passes through points (0, 4) and (2, 3)
x1 = 0 and y1 = 4
x2 = 2 and y2 = 3
Substitute them in the rule above to find m
[tex]m=\frac{3-4}{2-0}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]The equation is
[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]b is the value of y at x = 0
at x = 0 y = 4
b = 4
The equation of the line is
[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4[/tex]
