(8,10),(-7,14)

OpenStudy (jlastino):

Do you have to find the equation of the line passing through these points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope

OpenStudy (jlastino):

THe slope would be equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (8,10) (-7,14) x1= 8 x2= -7 y1=10 y2=14 Now substitute these values into that equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all of that is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, he has given you the points to sub into your slope formula. Recall your slope formula: (y2-y1/x2-x1). The answer to that will be the m in your linear equation: f(x) = m(x) + b. Recall that m = slope. Now sub in either of those points and isolate for b to find b. Does this clear things up?

yes thank you
