Question

What is the equation of the line that goes through (2,4) and (3,-1) ?

Answer 1

first find the slope, do you know how to get the slope?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

what do you do after?

Answer 4

okay, well once you have it, we will use m to represent slope.

Answer 5

then plug it into this: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 6

Plug that slope along with one of your points into the point slope formula:

\[y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\]

Where m is the slope you found, and (x1, y1) is either of your two points.

Answer 7

another formula
(x-2)/(y-4)=(2-3)/(4+1)
