How To: Find the equation of a line in point-slope form

When you are given a point through which a line passes and the slope of that line, you can calculate the equation of that line. The general equation to solve this kind of equations is called as point-slope form. The point slope of a line passing through (a, b) with slope of m is (y - b) = m * (x - a). Now substituting the values in the above equation you can obtain the equation of the line in terms of x and y. In case you are given with two points first find the slope of the line which is the...

How To: Find the midpoint of a line segment

A good place to start when you want to learn how to find a midpoint of a line is a circle. Take the diameter of a circle, for instance if the coordinates of the starting point are (1,6) and the coordinates for the ending point are (11,6). The midpoint of a line is the exact central point where a line through these two points would meet. Now the value of y is a constant one as the line runs parallel to the x-axis, the value of x changes by 10, the half of which is 5, this is not the midpoint t...

How To: Cut floor joists to length quickly and accurately

Fine Homebuilding with Jim Anderson demonstrates how to cut floor joists to length. Inspect the rim line to know where to set the joists. Set the joists to the layout on the rim line using a two man team. Tap a nail into the joist to keep it from moving around. Instead of standing the joists up to square them, cut them on both ends. Line the chalk line up with the rim line and snap the line across the joists to mark them. This will simultaneously measure and square them. Finally, line the joi...

How To: Find the parallel line to a given equation

This videos explains how one can easily find the parallel line to a given mathematical equation. He starts by explaining what it means for two lines to be parallel mathematically speaking. Defining two lines, then comparing the slope of both lines you can mathematically determine that they are in fact parallel. He then moves to common math problems found on tests where you are given a point and a linear equation. He then forms a T-table with one column being line one and line two and illustra...

How To: Tie an improved clinch knot

Fishing-Live-Bait shows how to tie an improved clinch knot, combining basic knowledge of how to tie a regular knot with an improved technique to make the knot even stronger. You begin by putting the line through the hook and then wrap the end of the line around the main line a total of six times. Wrapping the line that many number of times ensures the strength of the knot. The end of the line goes through the loop next to the hook. The difference between a normal clinch knot and this improved...

How To: Find if a point lies on a line in point slope form

In this tutorial, the author shows how to determine if a point lies on a given line which is in Point Slope Form. To show the method he takes a sample point order pair and an equation of a line in its point slope form. Now he substitutes the value of the x, y order pair and the equation of the line, and solves the equation on both the sides. If both sides match it means that the point lies on the given line, or else it does not lie on the current line. In this video, the instructor shows how ...

How To: Use the midpoint formula to find midpoint of a line

In this video the tutor shows how to find the midpoint of a line. He goes on and gives a formula to find out the mid point of a line. The x coordinate of the mid point of a line is the average of the x-coordinates of the end points of that line. Similarly the y coordinate of the mid point of a line is the average of the y-coordinates of the end points of that line. He notes down the formula and explains it by taking an example. This video shows how to compute the mid point of a line given its...
