00:0-1 | Good day . Welcome to Tech Math channel . What | |
00:02 | we're going to be having a look at in this | |
00:03 | video is linear equations . That is equations that if | |
00:05 | we were to graph them , give nice straight lines | |
00:09 | like this one here , specifically in this video , | |
00:11 | what we're going to have a look at is how | |
00:13 | to work out the equation for this particular type of | |
00:16 | graph , knowing only two points on it's actual line | |
00:20 | here . Okay , so we have a Y axis | |
00:22 | and an X axis here and knowing this X and | |
00:26 | this Y and the value of this X and this | |
00:29 | Y . And to do this , we're going to | |
00:31 | be using the linear equation . That is , as | |
00:34 | you probably remember , Y equals Mx plus B . | |
00:39 | So just to recap what this particular equation means , | |
00:42 | we have the X and Y values which are in | |
00:44 | the equation here . As you see here , we | |
00:46 | also have em , which gives the gradient of this | |
00:50 | particular graphia and also the B . Which is this | |
00:54 | why interceptor aware the actual graph intercepts the y axis | |
00:59 | . Again , all linear equations can be described by | |
01:01 | this particular equation . So I'm going to go through | |
01:05 | a couple of examples . Okay , so the first | |
01:07 | particular example I'm going to have a look at is | |
01:09 | this one here , I'm going to write down the | |
01:11 | X and Y values . We're going to have to | |
01:12 | X and Y . And I'm going to write them | |
01:14 | down in this particular order X followed by the wind | |
01:17 | . This is a standard way that we do these | |
01:19 | . Okay , so the first one We have an | |
01:22 | x value of one and a Y value of three | |
01:25 | . So we have this point on this grass and | |
01:27 | we also have a X value of three and a | |
01:30 | Y value of five . And so I'm looking for | |
01:32 | a linear equation that contains these points . So the | |
01:36 | easiest way to do this , the first thing we | |
01:38 | do is we're going to work out The gradient . | |
01:41 | This m value would see what that equals two . | |
01:44 | Their first off , you may know the formula for | |
01:47 | the gradient , which is equal pretty much to the | |
01:49 | rise over the road . That is to say how | |
01:53 | far do we go up as we go across ? | |
01:55 | Okay , so let's have a look at this . | |
01:58 | The Y values described how far we're going up so | |
02:01 | we can have a look at the difference between these | |
02:03 | values . As I go from this one to this | |
02:05 | one , you can see that I go from 3-5 | |
02:07 | , I'm going up so you can see now with | |
02:12 | the X ways , how far we go across As | |
02:14 | I go from 1-3 , I'm also going up to | |
02:19 | . So the rise over the run here is to | |
02:21 | over two which is equal to one . So in | |
02:24 | our equation here we have Y . Is equal to | |
02:27 | and I'm going to put a little Why is equal | |
02:30 | to one x plus B . And we're gonna find | |
02:34 | out what the eagles and how do we do this | |
02:37 | ? Well , this is fairly simple because we just | |
02:39 | substitute one of these particular values into our equation here | |
02:44 | . Okay , so I'm just going to choose the | |
02:46 | first one here . If why ? Which is three | |
02:50 | is equal to white X one times one is one | |
02:53 | . What would I add to one to make this | |
02:56 | equation true . And you'd say okay , I had | |
02:58 | to do this equation . All right , So this | |
03:02 | is going to be equal to plus two . Okay | |
03:05 | , Why is equal to one ? X plus two | |
03:08 | ? And you can double check this by substituting in | |
03:10 | the values on this one . If I have to | |
03:12 | say for our equation here , Now that is Y | |
03:15 | equals x plus two if x equals three . So | |
03:19 | why equals three times one ? Three times one which | |
03:23 | is three plus two is equal to five is equal | |
03:26 | to five , So 3-plus 2 is fine . So | |
03:29 | our equation here is correct and that's how I work | |
03:33 | at the equation based upon three points . Let me | |
03:36 | go through one more example of this . Okay , | |
03:39 | So say we have an X . Value of two | |
03:42 | and a Y value of negative four and that's on | |
03:44 | our equation or on our graph . And the next | |
03:47 | one we have is we also have a point where | |
03:48 | it's minus one on the X . And the five | |
03:51 | . Okay . So the first thing you're going to | |
03:53 | remember you remember is we work out the gradient m | |
03:57 | which is equal to the rise over the run the | |
04:00 | rise over the road . Okay ? So as we | |
04:04 | go from negative 4 to 5 you'll see . Okay | |
04:07 | we've gone from 4 to 0 which is four and | |
04:09 | then five more . So we've gone up nine positive | |
04:12 | nine . And as we've gone from this is the | |
04:16 | run here . As we've gone from 22 negative one | |
04:19 | you can say hey what's that ? We haven't gone | |
04:20 | up , we've actually gone back three . We've gone | |
04:22 | down three . So this is a negative three . | |
04:25 | Okay so nine Over -3 equals -3 . Our equation | |
04:30 | here is going to be why Equals -3 X . | |
04:37 | Plus something or minus something . So let's work out | |
04:40 | what that something is . So let's substitute in this | |
04:44 | value here . Okay so Why ? Which is five | |
04:48 | here is equal to negative one times three X . | |
04:53 | Negative one times negative three . That's right . Plus | |
04:58 | what number ? And you can say okay three plus | |
05:00 | two equals five . So this has to be a | |
05:02 | plus two . Does it work out ? Let's double | |
05:05 | check on this particular point here . So two times | |
05:09 | -3 was born , six Plus two is -4 . | |
05:14 | Which is the same as this . So that means | |
05:17 | this is correct and this is our equation anyway . | |
05:20 | That's how easy it is to do this particular thing | |
05:23 | . It's fairly simple . Right ? Working at the | |
05:26 | new equation based on two points made , I don't | |
05:28 | even have to draw any grass for that . But | |
05:31 | you can always practice during the graphs as well anyway | |
05:34 | . Hopefully find that video . I he found this | |
05:36 | video informative . We'll see you next time . Bye | |
