How do I find other equations equal to equations of straight lines?

Question

I need help determining other equations that are equal to another equation that forms a straight line

 

Answer 1

Let's take the equation of a line written in slope intercept form:

 

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

 

Any multiple of this equation will also be the equation of the line , i.e.

 

ky = kmx + kb. is also an equation where k is any real number.

 

The classic expression of a line is Ay + Bx = C  is another way to write the equation of a line:

 

Suppose we had the following equation: 2Y + 4X = 8  we could rewrite this as

 

Y = -2X + 4 in slope-intercept form  There are many ways to skin this cat.
