Revisit first: Inclination and slope of a line

TOPIC 01

Equations of a line

Choose point-slope, two-point, intercept or general form without losing exceptional lines.

What you will be able to explain

  • Choose point-slope, two-point, intercept or general form without losing exceptional lines.
  • Justify the method and check the conditions in a new situation.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Transfer#Worked example

Find the fixed point shared by this line family.

(x−4)+λ(y−8)=0(x-4)+\lambda(y-8)=0
  • Point-slope form omits vertical lines; intercept form requires nonzero intercepts.
Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Translate the geometric condition into a coordinate equation.
Hint 2
Both the constant part and parameter coefficient vanish.
Worked solution
  1. Translate the geometric condition into a coordinate equation.

  2. Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.

    x=4,y=8x=4, y=8
  3. The point works for every real parameter.

The requested relation or conclusion is shown below.

P=(4,8)P=(4,8)

Checks and common pitfalls: The point works for every real parameter.

Reasoning checklist · self / teacher assessment
  • State a valid definition or model and its assumptions.
  • Show the intermediate mathematical relations, not only the final claim.
  • Check exclusions, units or the interpretation of the result.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Focus on one question

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Choose point-slope, two-point, intercept or general form without losing exceptional lines.
  • Which condition is essential in equations of a line?
  • Which common forms can describe a line through the origin or a vertical line?

Board plan

  • General form: Ax+By+C=0 represents a line when A and B are not both zero.
    A(x−x0)+B(y−y0)=0A(x-x_0)+B(y-y_0)=0
  • Form restrictions: Point-slope form omits vertical lines; intercept form requires nonzero intercepts.

Anticipated thinking

  • Dividing an equation by a parameter can silently delete a valid line.

Assessment checklist

  • 1 mark: choose the correct representation and conditions.
  • 1 mark: establish the intermediate relation.
  • 1 mark: complete a connected calculation or proof.
  • 1 mark: interpret and check the conclusion.
