Slope–intercept form Explanation: ...of a linear equation, też bardzo graficzne, bo: y = ax+ b, gdzie: a odpowiada za kierunek prostej (slope), zaś b - za punkt przecięcia z osią (intercept). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation#Slope.E2.80.93intercept_form Reference: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/strtlneq.htm |

general linear equation Explanation: Typically written as y = mx + c. Variants are y=mx (through the origin) y =x +c1 and y = mx+c2 (which are parallel) and y =m1x / y = m2x which are perpendicular when m1*m2=1. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2016-08-22 05:54:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops y =mx +c1 and y = mx+c2 are parallel -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2016-08-22 05:55:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Alternativel, general form of the equation for a straight line. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-08-22 07:59:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is the directional form - the m represents the slope. The non-directional standard form would be ax + by + c = 0. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2016-08-27 11:57:29 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- 327 |
