Straight line summary
 The equation for a straight line is always in the form:
y = mx + c


m is the gradient (calculated from the rise over the
run).
And c is simply the intercept on the y axis.

graphical method and verify the results
using algebra/MATLAB
y=x+3 & y=7-x

Finding the Line
• Here’s the StarGate bit:
• A point in three dimensions needs six pieces of
information to be fully described.
• A course therefore seven
• Since a line exists essentially in 2D then only two
pieces of information.
•
Two points
•
A gradient and a point

Example
 Find the equation of the line given that it
passes though the points (-2,1) and (6,5)

Examples
Find the equation of the line given the
points (-2,4) and (4,1) expressing your
answer in the form ax+by=c.
2. A line has a gradient of –0.75 and passes
through a point (3,-4), state the equation of
the line.
3. Find the equation of a line with a gradient of
unity given that it passes through the point
(-1,-2).

Analytical: Best Line Fit
 MATLAB is a useful tool to
evaluate the line of best fit
for you. The procedure is:
• Enter data
•
•
x=[-4:1:4]
y=[-9.81 -5.87 etc
• Plot graph
• plot(x,y,’x’)
