LINEAR

EQUATION IN

TWO VARIABLES
Linear equations in two variables are
mathematical equations that can be expressed in
the form:

ax + by + c = 0

Here, x and y are the two variables, and a, b, and

c are constants, where a and b are not both zero.

A solution to such an equation is any pair of

values for x and y that make the equation true.
When plotted on a graph, the equation
represents a straight line. For example, equations
like 2x + 3y - 6 = 0 or x - y = 5 are linear Linear equations in two variables are fundamental
equations in two variables. in algebra and have widespread applications in
various fields such as physics, economics, and
engineering. These equations describe the
relationship between two quantities, where each
solution corresponds to a specific point on a two-
dimensional graph. The graph of a linear equation
in two variables is always a straight line, and the
slope of this line represents the rate of change
between the variables. By finding multiple
solutions, you can plot these points and visualize
the line, making it easier to analyze relationships
between the variables.

Linear equations in two variables are equations that can be written in the
form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, and x and y are variables.
For example, one such equation is 2x + 3y = 6, which represents a straight
line when graphed on a coordinate plane. Another example is x - 4y = 8,
which also describes a linear relationship between the variables x and y.
Similarly, the equation 5x + y = 10 shows how the values of x and y interact to
satisfy the given condition. Each of these equations forms a straight line and
represents all the points that satisfy the given relationship between the two
variables.

Determine the following if they’re a linear equation

with two variables. Write a check mark if it is and
an X mark if not.

1. 3x + 2y = 7
2. y = 5x² − 3
3. x − 7y = 12
4. x² + y² = 25
5. 6x + 9y − 2 = 0

What is Cartesian Coordinate

System?
WWW.GROUPONE.COM

A cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions

is defined by an ordered pair of perpendicular
lines (axes) a single unit of length for both axes,
and an orientation for each axis.

This system is widely used in mathematics,

physics, engineering, and computer graphics to
visualize and calculate positions, shapes, and
relationships between objects.

 Slope of a line Mathematics Magazine

The difference in the

vertical change is divided
by the difference in the
horizontal change
between two points. It is
calculated by:

It is measure of two
points’ steepness.
Mathematically, slope is
calculated as "rise over
run" (change in y divided
by change in x).

A slope of 2 means the line rises 2 units for every 1
unit it moves right, showing a positive relationship
between x and y, like earning $2 per hour worked.

A slope of -1 shows the line falls 1 unit for every 1 unit

it moves right, reflecting an inverse relationship, such
as losing $1 in profit per unit sold.

A slope of 0 represents a horizontal line where the y-

value stays constant, like a fixed $50 fee that doesn’t t
change no matter the service time.

An undefined slope describes a vertical line where the

x-value remains fixed while y changes, such as a walls
position.

 Standard Form

Standard form, in mathematics, refers to a

way of writing numbers that is clear,
organized, and often easier to work with.
For very large or very small numbers,
standard form is used to represent them
as the product of a number between 1
and 10 (known as the coefficient) and a
power of 10. For example, instead of
writing 5,000,000, standard form would
express it as . Similarly, very small
numbers, like 0.0003, can be written in
standard form as . This notation is
particularly useful in fields like science and
engineering, where extremely large or
small values frequently occur, as it
simplifies calculations and comparisons.

 Converting slope-intercept
form to standard form

This is our given values. It is

currently in the slope-intercept
form. We must convert it into
y = 2x - 7
standard form.

From the given, we must

subtract 2x from both sides in y = 2x − 7
order to move it from one side to −2x −2x
the other.
−2x + y = − 7

Since our A value can not be

negative, we must multiply it by (−1)−2x + y = − 7−1)
-1 in order to change the sign.

This is now the final answer

since it follows the form:
2x − y = 7
Ax + By = C

 SLOPE-
INTERCEPT FORM
THALES OF MILETUS

Intercept form is a way of expressing the

equation of a straight line in the coordinate
plane, focusing on its intercepts with the
axes. The general equation in intercept form
is written as:
x y
—
a +— =1
b
Here, a represents the x-intercept, which is
the point where the line crosses the x-axis,
and b represents the y-intercept, which is
the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
In this form, the intercepts a and b are
clearly visible, making it easy to graph the
line by simply plotting these two points and
connecting them. This form is particularly
useful in scenarios where the intercepts of a
line are more relevant or easier to calculate
than its slope.

 Converting standard form to
slope-intercept form

These are our values. It is

currently in standard form. We
must convert it into slope- 5x + y = −4
intercept form.

We should subtract 5x from

5x + y = −4
both sides in order to move it −5x −5x
from one side to another. y = −5x − 4

And this is now our final answer

since it follows the form
y = −5x − 4
y = mx + b
