## AravindG Group Title Note ! This is not a question .This is my new series of Tutorials,in this one I am taking up the topic "STRAIGHT LINES" because i see a major part of the questions asked in OS maths section is something like "write slope point form equation of this line", "write the equation of line passing through points.." etc. So here we go .Do not forget to provide your valuable feedback.Feel free to link this tutorial to students when they ask these types of questions again. Happy openstudying ! P.S. Vedic mathematics tutorials will also be continued. Don't worry :) one year ago one year ago

@AravindG A valuable asset for students. Well done!

31. NotTim

@NotTim Use this. Remember to cite this again when it dissappears from Notifications. @AravindG I liked it.

32. ajprincess

It is really very useful:).

33. star95

now i understand the question that they gave me.. thankyou that helped alot

34. ParthKohli

I love it a lot! :-D

35. Nikhil619

@AravindG u should become a teacher u know! amazing tutorial! :D

36. AravindG

thanks evryone!! I hope my fellow users will surely benefit from it.

37. star95

they should because it explains step by step what to do and how to do it..... lol really good job

38. shubhamsrg

Commendable job! B|

39. AravindG

@Opcode try refreshing

40. Butterfly16

I love this, its really great! I love the colors, lol. :o) Maybe you could add some examples of how to find and put equations and points into the formulas? I know when I'm learning, it always helps to look (and sorta follow) examples.

41. hartnn

give some examples.

42. Veritas

Agreed, examples would probably help some of the more... persistent minds. That is when you get the time, this is wonderful as is, just a bit of fine-tuning might help.

43. RobertoTB

example

I'm sorry, but I am colorblind and I cannot read any of this... Can you redo it for me please? :D

45. SGREBORN

Cheers

46. chihiroasleaf

it's better to give example and picture... :) good job... :D

47. goformit100

Awesome JOB!
