Question

Write an equation of the line given the following conditions: The line that contains the endpoints (5,-3) & (11,9).

Answer 1

Ok, do you have any idea how to start the problem?

Answer 2

to be honest no

Answer 3

I can make a draw.

Answer 4

Do you need to use an specific method?

Answer 5

in y=mx+b form

Answer 6

You know that those points satisfy the equation of the line. So you can plug them in to that equation.

Answer 7

for the first point: -3 = m*5 + b

Answer 8

Can you do the same for the second point?

Answer 9

I found the slope I just need to figure out the y-intercept

Answer 10

Ohh great, what did you get for the slope?

Answer 11

2

Answer 12

wel you can substitute that number into the equation I wrote: -3 = (2)*5 + b

Answer 13

and solve for b

Answer 14

y=2x-13 is that the correct equation

Answer 15

You can check by plugging the coordinates of the points into the equation.

Answer 16

It seems it works for the first point.

Answer 17

thanks it worked but I have another 2 questions can you help me with them

Answer 18

And it works for the second, great!

Answer 19
