Ex Sketch 2x+y=3 * to know the slope & g-intercept, the equation needs to be slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). AKA: у. in Solve for 2x +y = 3 -

Parallel Lines

This page explains the concept of parallel lines and how to determine if two lines are parallel without graphing.

Definition: Parallel lines are lines that never intersect and have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Example: Determine if the following lines are parallel: Line 1: through −1,−1-1, -1 and (2, 0) Line 2: through 0,−30, -3 and 5,−15, -1 Line 3: through −2,−5-2, -5 and 4,−34, -3

Calculate slopes using the formula m = y2−y1y₂ - y₁ / x2−x1x₂ - x₁

Highlight: To tell if two lines are parallel from equation, compare their slopes. If the slopes are equal, the lines are parallel.

Ex Sketch 2x+y=3 * to know the slope & g-intercept, the equation needs to be slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). AKA: у. in Solve for 2x +y = 3 -

Analyzing Parallel Lines

This page demonstrates how to tell if two lines are parallel or perpendicular using their equations.

Example: Determine if these equations represent parallel lines: Line 1: 4x + y = 3 Line 2: x + 4y = 3

  1. Convert both equations to slope-intercept form: Line 1: y = -4x + 3 Line 2: y = -1/4x + 3/4

  2. Compare slopes: -4 ≠ -1/4

Highlight: Lines with different slopes are not parallel. This method shows how to determine if two lines are parallel without graphing.

Ex Sketch 2x+y=3 * to know the slope & g-intercept, the equation needs to be slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). AKA: у. in Solve for 2x +y = 3 -

Slope-Intercept Form Characteristics

This page discusses the importance of slope and y-intercept in defining unique lines.

Definition: The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, always having an x-coordinate of 0.

Vocabulary: Y-axis points are represented as 0,y0, y, where y is the y-intercept value.

Highlight: The slope and y-intercept together uniquely define a line, making them crucial characteristics for analysis and graphing.

Ex Sketch 2x+y=3 * to know the slope & g-intercept, the equation needs to be slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). AKA: у. in Solve for 2x +y = 3 -

Deriving Slope-Intercept Form

This page explains the derivation of the slope-intercept form equation.

  1. Start with the slope formula: m = y−y1y - y₁ / x−x1x - x₁
  2. Use the y-intercept (0, b) as one point and (x, y) as a general point
  3. Substitute these into the slope formula: m = y−by - b / x−0x - 0
  4. Simplify and rearrange to get y = mx + b

Definition: Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Highlight: This form provides immediate information about a line's slope and y-intercept, making it valuable for analysis and graphing.

Ex Sketch 2x+y=3 * to know the slope & g-intercept, the equation needs to be slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). AKA: у. in Solve for 2x +y = 3 -

Graphing Using Slope-Intercept Form

This page demonstrates how to graph slope intercept form equations.

Example: Graph y = 3x + 4

  1. Identify slope mm = 3 and y-intercept bb = 4
  2. Plot the y-intercept at (0, 4)
  3. Use the slope to find another point: rise 3, run 1 from the y-intercept
  4. Draw a line through these two points

Highlight: To graph using slope and y-intercept, first plot the y-intercept, then use the slope to find additional points, and finally connect the points with a line.

This method provides a quick and accurate way to sketch lines given their slope-intercept form equations.

Ex Sketch 2x+y=3 * to know the slope & g-intercept, the equation needs to be slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). AKA: у. in Solve for 2x +y = 3 -

Converting to Slope-Intercept Form

This page demonstrates how to convert to slope intercept form from standard form. The process involves solving for y to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Example: Convert 2x + y = 3 to slope-intercept form

  1. Subtract 2x from both sides: y = -2x + 3
  2. Identify slope mm = -2 and y-intercept bb = 3

Definition: Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Highlight: Converting equations to slope-intercept form makes it easier to identify the slope and y-intercept, which are crucial for graphing and analyzing lines.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Anna

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
