1. Point - It has no size i.e. no width, no length, and no depth. A point

is shown by a dot. It is represented by a coordinate; x and y
coordinates (x,y) where x and y are real numbers. Example: (3, 5)

2. Slope of a line – It is the ratio of the amount that y increases

as x increases some amount. It is a measure of the steepness of a
line by connecting two points. It is represented by the symbol (m).
y 2− y 1
The formula of a line is m =
Key Concept x 2−x 1

3. Intercepts – Consist of x and y intercepts. The x-intercepts are

where the graph crosses the x-axis, has an ordered pair of (0, a), and
the y-intercepts are where the graph crosses the y-axis, has an
ordered pair of (b, 0). Where a and b are real numbers.

4. Standard Form of a line – the standard form of a line is

Ax + By = C, where A, B and C are real numbers.

At the end of the module, the students will be able to:

1. identify the formula on obtaining an equation of a line with (a) two

3. Abstraction There many ways on how to solve for the equation of a line with the
following given (a) two points; (b) the slope and a point; (c) the slope and its
intercepts. I will be introducing two ways in solving (1) through slope-
intercept form and (2) formula.

1. GIVEN: TWO POINTS

Using slope-intercept form

y = mx + b
We will be using the activity above (graph 1), the only given are points.
The points are (0, -2) and (-1, 2)

If we will examine the slope intercept form (y=mx+b), we can only

solve for the slope (m) based on the given.

STEP 1: Solve for the slope

y 2− y 1
m= - formula for slope
x 2−x 1

(0, -2) and (-1, 2) - given

2−(−2)
m= - substitution
−1−0

2+ 2 4
m= = =-4 - simplify
−1 −1

m = -4

STEP 2: Using the given, identify one (1) point and substitute it to slope-
intercept form (y=mx+b) together with the slope (m) to solve for b.

We have (0, -2) as a point and m = -4

x y
y = mx + b - slope-intercept form

-2 = (-4)(0) + b - substitution

-2 = 0 + b - simplify

-2 = b

STEP 3: Since we already solved for the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b),
we can now substitute it to the slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
Since m = -4 , b = -2 so we have y = -4x – 2 or you can transform into
standard form we have 4x + y = -2.

Using the formula

y 2− y 1
y - y1 = (x - x 1)
x 2−x 1
Using this formula, you only need to substitute the given two points.
(0, -2) and (-1, 2)

x1 y1 x2 y2

y 2− y 1
y - y1 = (x - x 1) - formula
x 2−x 1

2−(−2)
y – (-2) = (x - 0) - substitute
−1−0

2+ 2
y+2= (x – 0) - simplify
−1

4
y+2= (x – 0)
−1

y + 2 = -4 (x – 0)

y + 2 = -4x – 0

y + 2 = -4x - arrange in standard form

4x + y = -2

The equation of the line is 4x + y = -2.

2. GIVEN: THE SLOPE AND A POINT

This time the only available data in the graph are a point and a slope.
−2
The given are a point ( 2, 1) and a slope ( )
3

Using slope-intercept form

y = mx + b

If we will examine the slope intercept form (y=mx+b), since slope (m)
and a point are already given. We will be solving for the y-intercept (b).

STEP 1: Solve for the y-intercept.

−2
We have (2, 1) as a point and m =

STEP 3: Since we already solved the y-intercept (b). we can now solve the
equation by using y = mx + b.
−2 7 2 7
We have m = , b = , we have y = - x + or you can
3 3 3 3
transform into standard form we have 2x + 3y = 7.

Using the formula

y - y 1 = m (x - x 1)

Using this formula, you only need to substitute the given; a point and a
slope.

(2, 1) and m =

3( x + y ) = ( )3 - multiply by 3 to make the 1st term integer.
3 3

2x + 3y = 7
 2 7
Note: The answer x + y = is correct but we need to change the 1 st term
3 3
into integer to have a unified answer.

3. GIVEN: THE SLOPE AND ITS INTERCEPTS.

This time the available data in the graph (graph 2) are an intercept
and a slope.
The given are x-intercept (a) is 1 and a slope (2)

Using slope-intercept form

y = mx + b

If we will examine the slope intercept form (y=mx+b), since slope (m)
and an intercept are given (NOTE: an intercept is also a point, therefore we
can use the process if the given are a point and a slope). We will be solving
for the y-intercept (b).

STEP 1: Solve for the y-intercept.

We have a = 1 or (1,0) as a point and m = 2

x y

y = mx + b - slope-intercept form

0 = (2)(1) + b - substitution

0=2+b - simplify

0-2=b - addition property of

equality (APE)
b = -2

STEP 3: Since we already solved the y-intercept (b). we can now solve the
equation by using
y = mx + b

Since m = 2 , b = -2, we have y = 2x - 2 or you can transform into

standard form; -2x + y = -2.

We need to make the 1 st term into positive (to have a uniform answer).
We will multiply by -1, we have -1(-2x + y) = (-2)-1. The answer would be
2x – y = 2

Using the formula

y - y 1 = m (x - x 1)

Using this formula, you only need to substitute the given; an intercept
(a point) and a slope.
a = 1 or (1, 0) and m = 2
 x1 y1

y - y 1 = m (x - x 1) - formula

y – (0) = 2 (x - 1) - substitute

y - 0 = 2x - 2 - simplify

y = 2x + 0 - 2 - combine like term using the APE

y = 2x - 2

-2x + y = -2 - arrange in standard form

-1(-2x + y) = (-2) -1 - multiply by -1 to make the 1st term

positive.
2x – y = 2
The answer would be 2x – y = 2
