7. Linear Equation General Form Example
Slope intercept form y = mx + b y + 2x = 3
Point–slope form y – y1 = m(x – x1 ) y – 3 = 6(x – 2)
General Form Ax + By + C = 0 2x + 3y – 6 = 0
Intercept form x/a + y/b = 1 x/2 + y/3 = 1
As a Function f(x) instead of y f(x) = x + C f(x) = x + 3
The Identity Function f(x) = x f(x) = 3x
Constant Functions f(x) = C f(x) = 6
Where m = slope of a line; (a, b) intercept of x-axis and y-axis.

We can plot the above points (0,6), (3,0),
(1,4), (2,2) in a coordinate plane (Refer
figure).
We can take any two points and join
those to make a line. Let the line be PQ. It
is observed that all the four points are
lying on the same line PQ.
