Lesson 10: Determining Equation
of a Line
Objective:
Finds the equation of a line given (a) two points;
(b) the slope and a point; (c) the slope and its
intercepts. (M8AL-Ig-1)
 We can determine the equation of a line if we are
given the following information:
1. Two points of the line, using the two – point form

2. The slope and a point of the line using the point – slope form

3. The slope and the y – intercept of the line y = mx + b

4. The x – intercept and y – intercept of the line
 When we determine the equation of a line, our
final answer should be in any of these forms:

1. The standard form:

2. The slope – intercept form:
3. The intercept form:

of a line, we can get its equation. A point on the x –
axis has coordinates , where a is the x – intercept, and
a point on the y – axis has coordinates , where b is the
y – intercept.
