Point-Slope Form For a given point (x1, y1) on a non-vertical line with slope m, the point-slope form of a linear equation is as follows: y – y1 = m(x – x1) In general, you can write an equation in point-slope form for the graph of any non-vertical line. If you know th...
Using the point-slope formula, it is simple to show that the equations of the asymptotes are y=±ba(x−h)+ky=±ab(x−h)+k. The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with center (h,k)(h,k) and transverse axis parallel to the y-axis is (y−k)2a2−(...
Writing an Equation of a Line SLOPE - INTERCEPT FORM: Given the slope m and the y-intercept b, use the equation y = mx + b. POINT - SLOPE FORM: Given the slope m and a point (x1, y1), use the equation y - y1 = m (x - x1). TWO POINTS: Given two points (x1, y1) and...
Reggie had only to point at an animal or child to make it behave, and Rags shuddered and moaned, seemingly clasped by an invisible force. ”It’s hard to watch things happen to her,” I said. Reggie took the cigarette from behind her ear and leaned confidingly close, lighting it off...
I don’t need to know it well but I do need to have a strong sense of it. I often have a real place in my mind as a starting point, which I then adapt to suit the needs of the story. This is the case with The Drunken House extract above: I know the place I mean, but it...
I’m wondering if I should change the point of view to more authorial, from one person to two or more. But this has always been a dilemma I’ve needed to act on It’s a bit of a messbecause I’ve written it in fits and starts ...
Some of you know I’m trying to finish up a book I’ve been working on since 2022. Life got in the way, and my writing was often relegated to the back burner. But I’m getting close, finally. To the point of needing to write a blurb. ...
