Section P.4 Linear Equations in Two Variables Important Vocabulary
... All equations of lines can be written in general form. Which form of the equation of a line is most convenient when given: (a) the slope m and the y-intercept (0, b)? slope-intercept form (b) the slope m and a point (x1, y1) on the graph of the line? point-slope form (c) two points (x1, y1) and (x2, ...

Graph linear equations by plotting ordered pairs.
... Graph linear equations by plotting ordered pairs. (cont’d) Notice that the points plotted in the previous graph all appear to lie on a straight line, as shown below. Every point on the line represents a solution of the equation x + 2y = 7, and every solution of the equation corresponds to a point o ...

Knowing the slope of a line, m, and the y
... Vertical lines (whose slope is undefined) are the only lines that cannot be written in slope-intercept form. Every other line has a slope and a y-intercept. We can write the equation in the form y = mx + b if we are given: the slope and y-intercept, the slope and a point or two points. We can graph ...

Itô diffusion
In mathematics — specifically, in stochastic analysis — an Itô diffusion is a solution to a specific type of stochastic differential equation. That equation is similar to the Langevin equation used in physics to describe the Brownian motion of a particle subjected to a potential in a viscous fluid. Itô diffusions are named after the Japanese mathematician Kiyosi Itô.
