what do you mean by equation of a line?

Sagot :

A linear equation in the forms:
a) Standard: ax + by = 0
b) General: ax + by + c = 0

Example: Find the equation of the line in standard form  given a the slope 3/4 and y-intercept 4
y = mx + b    m = 3/4; y-intercept= 4

y = 3x + 4
      4
Transform to equation of the line in standard form:
3x  - y = -4
 3

3x - 3y = -12  Equation of the line
