Forming equations whengiven a point (x,y)
Remember: the standard format of a
straight line graph is y = mx + c
E.g. Find the equation of the straight
line that has a gradient of -2 and goes
through the point (-3, -10)
y = mx + c
Gradient (m) = -2
y = - 2x + c
(-3,-10) x = -3, y = -10
-10 = -2(-3) + c
-10 = 6 + c
- 6 - 6
-16 = c
y = - 2x – 16
E.g. Find the equation of the straight
line that cuts the y-axis at 4 and goes
through the point (4, 7)
y = mx + c y-intercept (c) = 4
y = mx + 4
(4,7) x = 4, y = 7
7 = m(4) + 4
7 = 4m + 4

Line B: 4y + 2x – 1 = 0
Line B 4y + 2x – 1 = 0
+ 1 + 1
4y + 2x = 1
- 2x - 2x
4y = - 2x + 1
y = -½ x + 1
= -1
Line A and Line B are perpendicular as
the product of their gradients is – 1.
÷ 6 ÷ 6
y = 3x - 2
To prove two lines are perpendicular, the
product of their gradients will be -1.
Example:
Line A hasthe equation y = 2x + 1.
Line B is parallel to line A and goes through the point (3, 2).
What is the equation of line B?
y = mx + c
Parallel lines = same gradient
y = 2x + c
(3,2) is a point on this line
x = 3, y = 2
2 = 2(3) + c
2 = 6 + c
- 6 - 6
- 4 = c
So, y = 2x - 4
If A is in the form of a straight line, B must
also be a straight line as they are
both parallel!

Line A has the equation y = –2x – 1. Line B is
parallel to line A and goes through the point
(-4, - 3). What is the equation of line B?
y = mx + c
y = 5x + c
x = - 1, y = - 9
- 9 = 5(- 1) + c
- 9 = -5 + c
+ 5 + 5
- 4 = c
So, y = 5x – 4
y = mx + c
y = x + c
x = 4, y = - 1
- 1 = 4 + c
- 4 - 4
- 5 = c
So, y = x - 5
y = mx + c
y = 0.5x + c
x = 4, y = -1
-1 = 0.5(4) + c
-1 = 2+ c
- 2 - 2
- 3= c
So, y = 0.5x - 3
y = mx + c
y = - 2x + c
x = - 4, y = - 3
-3 = - 2(- 4) + c
-3 = 8 + c
- 8 - 8
- 11 = c
So, y = - 2x - 11
