Q. Exmple 214 Find the equation of the straight lines with the given points.adbecf
Calculate Slope: To find the equation of a line, we need the slope m which is the change in y over the change in x. So, we calculate the slope using the points (a,d) and (b,e).m=b−ae−d
Point-Slope Form: Now we use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is y−y1=m(x−x1), where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.We can use point (a,d) for this.y−d=m(x−a)
Substitute Slope: Substitute the value of m from step 1 into the equation from step 2.y−d=(b−a)(e−d)(x−a)
Simplify Equation: Now we simplify the equation by distributing the slope on the right side of the equation. y−d=b−ae−d⋅x−b−ae−d⋅a
Isolate y: Next, we simplify the equation further by multiplying out the terms on the right side.y−d=b−ae−d⋅x−b−ae−d⋅a
Slope-Intercept Form: To write the equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we need to isolate y.y=b−ae−d⋅x−b−a(e−d)⋅a+d
Standard Form: Finally, we simplify the equation by combining like terms and writing it in the standard form, which is Ax+By=C. Let's multiply everything by (b−a) to get rid of the fraction. $(b - a)y = (e - d)x - (e - d)a + (b - a)d
Expand and Simplify: Now we expand and simplify the equation.\(\newline\)\((b - a)y = (e - d)x - (e - d)a + bd - ad\)
