FINDING EQUATION OF A LINE FROM TWO POINTS WORKSHEET

Finding Equation of a Line From Two Points Worksheet :

Here we are going to see some practice problems on finding equation of the line from given points.

The equation of a straight line is satisfied by the co-ordinates of every point lying on the straight line and not by any other point outside the straight line.

Equation of a line using two points on the line :

(y - y₁)/(y₂ - y₁) = (x - x₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Here (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the points on the line.

If we have any two points on the line, we can use this formula to find the equation.
