A general equation of straight
line:
Àõ + Âó + Ñ =
0 ,
where
À
and Â
aren't equal to zero simultaneously.
Coefficients
À
and Â
are coordinates of normal vector of the
straight line
(
i.e.
vector, perpendicular to the
straight line
). At À
=
0 straight line is
parallel to the axis ÎÕ
, at
Â
=
0 straight line is
parallel to the axis ÎY
.
At
Â
0
we
receive an equation of straight line with a slope:

An equation of the straight line,
going through the point (
õ0
,
ó 0
) and not parallel to
the axis OY :
ó
– ó
0 = m ( x
– õ0
) ,
where m
is
a slope,
equal to tangent of an angle between the straight line and the positive
direction of the axis
ÎÕ
.
At
À
0,
Â
0 and
Ñ
0
we
receive an equation of straight line in segments on axes:

where a = – C / A,
b = – C / B. This line goes through the points (
a,
0
) and (
0, b
), i.e. it cuts off
segments a and b long on the coordinate axes.
An equation of straight line
going through two different points
( õ1,
ó 1
) and ( õ2,
ó 2
):

A parametric equation
of straight line,
going through a point
( õ0
,
ó

) and parallel to a
direction vector (

b
) of a straight line
