Question

Determine the equation of the secant line through the given x values:
f(x)=3x^2-5x+4; x=-3, x=2

Answer 1

Would I just find the slope, then plug in one value of x into f(x), then create an equation using point slope form?

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

ok thanks

Answer 4

no worries. make sure whatever value of x you pick in your point-slope form you use the corresponding value of y=f(x)

Answer 5

\[y-f(x_1)=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{2-(-3)}(x-x_1)\]
