How to derive equation of line from graph using two point form?
A line's equation can take many different shapes in a two-dimensional coordinate plane. The point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and general or standard form of the equation of a line are the three most often used techniques.
The formula of two point form of a equation is given below:
Let (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) be the two points such that the equation of line passing through these two points is given by the formula:
(y-y₁)/(x-x₁) = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) -- (i)
Rearranging (i), we get: y - y₁ = [(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)] (x-x₁) --(ii)
Given, the graph has y co-ordinate as cost in $ of bananas and the x co-ordinate as pounds in lb.
From graph in question, the two points that can be assumed are (0.5,0.75) and (3,4.5); thus using two point form we get the equation as:
y - 0.75 = [(4.5 - 0.75)/(3 - 0.5)] *(x - 0.5) ⇒ y - 0.75 = 1.5 (x - 0.5)
⇒ y - 0.75 = 1.5x - 0.75 ⇒ y = 1.5x ⇒ x = y/1.5 --(ii)
From (ii),
thus for y = 3, value of x will be x = 3/1.5 = 2
